Penguins are only down on the bottom half of the earth Dave, but I'll let you slide this time, what with the PTSD from living in your little slice of paradise and all.

Thanks, and true dat. So, substitute "penguins" with "polar bears".

No PTSD, quite the opposite. If I got anymore relaxed my siblings might think I've died and start fighting over my money.

Ok, that's closer. Only a three hour jet ride to where polar bears are.

Direct hit on both the Mosquitos and the moose.
Mosquito Magnet (no affiliation) burns propane to put out CO2, oxen breath scent, and a little vacuum to suck em into a bag. Best damn thing I've bought in years.

The moose are still a problem. Yelling, waving arms, BB gun, Roman candles. In order of escalation, as required.
And that's if you happen to catch them. If they come in the night, they can destroy the garden in a hurry.

I bet they can. I recall the family car being stopped for an extended period by moose (plural form) in western Montana when I was a kid, circa early 1970s. It seems an entire herd of them decided to sun themselves in the roadway. We and quite a few other vehicles sat for a while until state police and forest rangers showed up to chase them back into the woods. People beeped horns, shouted, whistled.............

The moose didn't care.

Until the guys with guns showed up. They didn't seem to care much for THAT sound.

Actually, when it comes to privacy, the bigger concern is snooping by private enterprises. Sure, the gov will collect all they can, but it's pretty long odds they would use it, unless I were to do something to threaten or piss off those in power. Besides the gov is so inept, they usually can't find their ass with both hands.
Big corporations on the other hand, are in competition for my money. The more information they have about me, the easier it becomes to take advantage.
