You Should’ve Listened To Your Better Half

A Minnesota man was arrested over claims he shot through his neighbor's window while trying to shoot a squirrel, The Associated Press reported Friday. 


 The Grand Forks Herald identified the man as Michael James Powers, 76. Powers is facing two years behind bars and charges including recklessly handling a dangerous weapon and felony discharging a firearm "within a municipality," The AP reported. After Powers' neighbor discovered bullet holes on the siding of his house and a bullet on the window ledge in his son's bedroom, he notified the East Grand Forks Police Department, according to The AP and the Grand Forks Herald, citing an affidavit. In addition to finding the bullet, broken glass was inside the room. The bullets were from a .22-caliber rifle, the Herald reported, citing the affidavit, and six rounds hit the neighbor's residence. 

 Powers told the local police that from his bedroom he was trying to shoot a red squirrel that was on his bird feeder, according to the reports. The police said when he was taken into custody his wife told him, "Well, I told you," The AP reported. Powers told the officers he shot at the animals about six times in the past two years when they got inside his feeder, calling it "war," the outlets reported.

Why suffer the embarrassment of having your spouse say those words you have no desire to hear, which only adds to your frustration because you already knew the outcome beforehand.

This is better advice than Dr. Phil …..
  
Date: 12/20/2022 5:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Ugh! Hey Larry Man, I have actually thought about opening up on some of the zeros that drive through the neighborhood; going three times the posted speed limit,
playing their stereos at 185 db and taking a picture of themselves. But, so far, I have done exactly what you advise and managed to "beat back that
feeling."

In my opinion, M.J.P. may already be too far gone to be allowed access to gunpowder. My father used to tell me, "Never miss, and if you think that you might miss, do not shoot."

"L.D."---Oh, yeah! What was that you threw into the bed of the "Dexter kid's" truck, the other day?

kronk---A military grade stink bomb. Perfectly harmless to any life form.

"L.D."---Ugh!

Why not send him a couple of those humane animal traps where he use the bird feeder as bait thereby safely extracting his squirrel problem and relocating t hem to you. Then, the next time The Fast - N - Furious come racing by, release the varmints in their general direction and watch the fun! ( Are ther any larger trees in that part of your neighborhood?)  
Date: 12/21/2022 5:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 998    We are not hunters by any means. Well, iffin we had to in an apocalyptic sense, I guess we would go after anything that moved, for food. But we are more the 'catch the spider in the house and relocate to the garden' variety of folks.

One time we started having too many grey squirrels showing up to raid the bird feeder. So we got the humane traps and relocated 13 of them over about a month. Strangely, some of those furry rodents were out smarting the yummy peanutty trap.

It was interesting to see the differences between the completely oblivious ones and the super inquisitive, yet couldn't be caught squirrels.

Date: 12/23/2022 6:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Ginger I like your comment. Brought to mind a line from the television show "Kung Fu." ....."for all life is precious and none can be replaced."

"L.D."---I like Ginger. She has a soul.

kronk---Yes, indeed. Ginger is "GRADE A," in my book.

"L.D."---She's long suffering, too. I mean, she's put up with all of you, for years.

kronk---Ugh!
  
Date: 12/23/2022 6:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry "L.D." loves your idea.

"L.D."---"Across this land and around the world, there is no greater joy than a pine nut and grain fed squirrel."
