Dead Possum Under Trailer Home

10.14.2004 - This job was extra super duper hard and difficult and aggravating. In fact, dead animals under trailer homes make me angry. This job is always a bitch. In fact, it's pointless to say dead "animal" under a trailer home, because it's always "dead opossum under trailer home". The animal is always a danged opossum. I don't know why I'm complaining. It's not like I care about what the specie is. I guess maybe a little variety would be nice. But if the job lacks variety of animal, it doesn't lack variety in architecture, and this particular trailer home featured a very annoying architectural element - these metal braces with very sharp edges. I squirmed and crawled as usual, in desperate search for the dead possum and I scraped myself on the braces several times. It was hot and dirty and spidery and it's really hard to find the dead animal, because it always dies up in the vapor barrier. Every time. Why can't the danged things die on the ground? No, they crawl up into the most difficult area to search. I usually have to do some exploratory surgery into the vapor barrier in order to narrow it down. This one was extremely difficult. I'm too annoyed to write about it any more, so here, the photo. Sorry if you don't like looking at three hundred and eighty two maggots.
