Awesome Possum

We call him the Awesome Possum. Or her. AP puts inoccasional cameos on our porch, and always look forward to it. For reference to his size, if the average person makes a large circle with their arms, that's how big the dish AP is eating out of, so you can imagine what a hefty creature AP is! Late at night, after the cats have eaten their fill and are feeling comfortable in their world, up the stairs lumbers AP to send them all scattering. For a while AP lived in a barrel of pecan shells... why, I have no idea. But now full grown and throwing the weight around AP goes where he or she pleases and when we get visits we consider it a sign of good fortune.
