Low Life


Susan was out doing yard work today and found this, a not-yet-stale remnant of a beer on the pond bank.  We are guessing that the trespass occurred yesterday when we were both gone for part of the day, and our return caused a hurried exit-stage-left.  It's a bother that we can do without.  We have had more than our share of trespassers and we make a good effort to nip it in the bud every time we catch one.  Every one is unique.

This one, during a deer season last year was wearing a hat with the Illinois State Police logo on it.  I don't know if he was in ill-mannered State Cop, or just managed to cop a hat from one, but it didn't gain any points for him with me. 


It looks like we will be doing some things to tighten up security a bit more.  Back To The Old Grind!  And carry at home!

Had a classmate who's father had a herd that spooked easily, so you had to be careful when out in the pasture, to avoid getting trampled. He asked her to make a no trespassing sign, and she worded it as:
NO TRESPASSING
SURVIVORS WILL BE PROSECUTED

This was back in the '60's.

Unfortunately the next step may be murder , robbery , or rape or all three , cop or not . The honest Irish cop is a thing of the past . Trespassing often leads to the rest . Nip it in the bud as Barney would say and get that bullet from Andy ! That's why we have a Cane Corso living out in the barn . He is not tolerant of strangers roaming the property he considers his turf .

A couple of aggressive acting dogs are the best security you can get.

Our farm dog is an old man now at 14 years, and we are providing a pleasant retirement for him. He is still ready to go if I growl, but he sleeps inside at night nowadays.
