Dear skunks outside, Really, must you be so loud doing whatever it is you're doing? I can't tell if it's mating or fighting, but it's quite screachy and smelly. Normally, I sort of like the skunky smell. But this? Is utterly overwhelming. I don't think it could be worse if your butt was in my face. Please stop. Love, Your Crinkle Nosed Nire In other news, I'm trying out Picasa on my laptop. I need a free-yet-good picture editor. Any suggestions? In case this turns out to be shite?

the skunks down here are horrible, too :(

hey, when do you move into school?

September second! Nice and late. :-D

Picasa isn't the most powerful image editing software...it's more picture management software with some simple editing features built in. That said, if it's powerful enough for you, Picasa is great software.

For Photoshop-esque features, try the GIMP. http://www.gimp.org/windows/ (http://www.gimp.org/windows/)

You like skunk smell? Maybe skunks smell different there than they do in Flagstaff.

Oh, they probably smell the same, I just like a lot of weird smells. ;-) I like the way cow manure smells, too, and everyone thinks I'm crazy. =D

Now that one I get. Plus, my hometown smelled constantly of cow manure, so everytime they fertilize the lawns at the school, I get homesick :)

And I thought the possum colony at my old house was unpleasant. Do you ever wonder if skunks choose their mates based on who is the stinkiest? Like there's a culture in which b.o. is actually *desirable*?

No, I have no idea how I ever passed biology. Good luck in warding off the stench.

I wouldn't put it past the little stinkers. 'Cause PU was it gross out the other night!

Actually I was reading a while back that skunks avoid spraying each other like the plague, and almost never get their spray on themselves when they spray. Evidently skunks don't like the smell of skunk.
