I live in the city. The city is over run with raccoon, possums, fox, deer, coyote, lizards, etc. Cincinnati is one of the greenest cities in America and so they live in the woods and eat in the neighborhoods.

I'm sure that "greenest city" thing is literal, guys. The city is on a gigantic palisade above the Ohio River. I was there a short while, and I saw so many stair-stepped areas that rose hundreds of feet above the river, it was an amazing place to ride around in. That leaves large areas that are too difficult to build on, hence large, green, wild areas that stripe all over. The only other place I saw a city built that way was on the Northern Range of the Andes in South America. By the way, they were overrun with critters, too.

I went to a funeral this afternoon - a momma and her child. The were executed according to the laws of the state of Ohio but because Mrs. Possum was so poor she could not afford a proper burial, but had to go to the poor raccoon cemetery to be buried with her darling little girl.

Four in one house and one in another. State law is clear about disposing of them. Go figure! There used to be six but one went down under. They are rather friendly but if you cross them they turn vicious.

What are we talking about? Is this some kind of colloquialism for marsupial opossum?

Just a question.
What lived on your property before you?
You got to learn to share, up to a point.

When they eat all of my tomatoes, that is not sharing. They took down 52 out of 60 of my neighbor's plants. The neighbor is an actual bi-polar Australian.

Australians? Have you been catching a bunch of Australian backpackers? :) In Australian we do have possums, they are very different to the US possums. Ive been watching Turtleman so Im up to speed with the US possums.
