They're viscious, evil, filthy little rodents that eat live baby birds
for fun. I could do with a few less around here. I'm buying a fence
charge for the neighborhood dogs though. I think that will teach them
to not piss on my front flowerbeds.

Really? I'd be curious as to what kind of threats were made. What kind
of person has it in for disabled vets? At any rate, I don't think you
should let that stop you. You have rights too. |

Actually, it was intended to cause me trouble. Someone who has been
stalking me online for several years made the call, and the local
Sheriff was informed. A report is on file, and they will follow up on
it after the hurricane passes, and they finish their drill following the
London bombings.
The project is still alive, but I removed the link from my Sig file
and message headers. I collect, repair and give used computers to
disabled veterans who can't afford to buy a system of their own. My goal
is 100 systems from July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2006. That is about two
systems a week. So far, people have been giving enough equipment that
I'll meet my goal as long as my health holds up.

So, what are you supposed to do with the peanuts?
I thought the most interesting idea was to sprinkle capsicum powder on
the bird food, since birds can't taste it. That was news to me.
Why do people post to sci.electronics? It has been replaced by
sci.electronics.misc for the better part of a decade. TANST! >> Stay informed about: Loud horn to scare squirrels |

What's their beef? It seems to me that if they file a fictitious report
with the sheriff, they would be subject to prosecution. Calif has laws
against those who do SLAPPs. http://www.casp.net/intro.html#what%20are

What about the sound of a 12G shotgun blasting the shi& out of them! Of
course a recording that was triggered from some type of string that the
squirrel would trip!

You feed them to the squirrels. I have a friend who has about 5 or six
squirrels taking peanuts out of his hand and one of them will even take a
peanut from his mouth. His neighbor shoots squirrels who get on the bird
feeder, so the two haven't spoken for months.

Oh, I see. Peace offering. I thought that maybe you were implying that
the peanuts were laced with rat poison or something like that.  >> Stay informed about: Loud horn to scare squirrels |

Hey, did'ya see the news today? That's exactly what happened to four
boy scout leaders when their tent pole went askew and touched the
overhead power lines. They got electrocuted and some others injured.
Helluva way to start off a jamboree.

I heard it on the news. The last jamboree I went to was back in the
late '60s a scout was trying to cook a minute steak and dumped the
grease into the fire. The kid was severely burned over most of his body
for that thoughtless act. He was crying "Why me" over and over as they
carried him away on the stretcher.
