They are not bad at all. https://www.britannica.com/plant/plantain The huevos need more salsa. And the pupusas need the curtido on them |

For tonight, wife found a food truck park around the corner that was still hopping. Awaiting the bounty now.

That's a pretty damn good idea. No tape required, Knife fully seated in the sheath the sharp stuff is covered by the sheath. But if you hold the sheath in your hand and draw the knife with your other hand, you have to be care full how you grip the sheath. Any skin in that cutout as you draw the knife is when you can cut yourself, like I did. If the sheath was attached to my belt, never would happen. And that cut out is so you can cut a seatbelt or rope without exposing the blade. |

My little dog used to kill the shit out of them in our yard and I never stopped her because they'd get in the chicken coop and take eggs and generally terrorize the birds. If they harass livestock, they are no longer useful. Free-range chickens/guinea hens eat far more ticks etc than possums do. I'd lean towards the birds. |
