One of the neighborhood Opossum decided to torture Andy tonight about midnight. This lady was about 14 inches long (minus the tail) and about the same size as Andy. She spent 30-45 minutes sitting on the fence catching her breath and allowing me to get within a foot of her in the dark to take these flash pictures. Sorry about the quality, but I wasn't about to get close enough to have her give me her toothy smile. Editorial Note: Opie was back Thursday night.
It appears the Maryland State Police arrested two men wanted in connection with the Washington DC area sniper shootings asleep in a Maryland Rest Area about 2 hours ago. The arrest was made after Sheriff Moose had given the license plate number and description of the car in a press conference tonight. Then, as they say in law enforcement circles-- we wait. Well it appears they didn't have to wait too long, before John Q. Citizen, Larry Layton picked up cell phone and reported he had seen the suspect's car parked in the rest area just off the I-70. Arrested were John Allen Williams, AKA John Allen Muhammad 42 and his 17 year old step-son, Lee Malvo a Jamaican national.
Now the 64K question du jour is: Do we have all of them? Or just two out of a handful of sniper terrorists? We're still waiting for that answer.
