	No no, only things that smell like they died move down here. This
statement actually arose from my misconception that opossums where
restricted to the southern states of America. This information was based
partly on their name,Didelphis virginiana, and the fact that people around
here tend to eat them. I have since educated myself and have found out that
their habitat is much wider than I thought.
