Welcome to Dixie Drive, the main drag through that little town up the road. Make a right or left onto any side street and who knows what or who you might come across. These folks are as unpredictable as a squirrel in the street on a hot summer's day and they don't care what you think about it. They're not hurting anybody, (except maybe themselves). they're just playing their cards with the hand they were dealt, so stand back and we'll see what they come up with next. The folks near Dixie Drive might reside in some backwater southern town and some of their weirdness may be particularly "Southern" but don't kid yourself, this is Small Town America: the same animal from Portland East to Portland West. Woof!

Years ago, I read about a guy in Arkansas that bought a septic tank cleaning truck and started a business removing prairie dogs. This cartoon made me remember that. Here’s a youtube video about a guy in Colorado who does the same thing:

All the people whose hobby of feeding birds led to the development of the hobby of not feeding squirrels might appreciate Bobby Dixon’s work.

I guess the use of this device would be considered self-defense.

Hmm. Any engineers here with an opinion about whether putting shop-vacs in series would produce a super-vacuum? I have my doubts.

Them squirrels, birds, tennis balls, etc. ain’t got a chance now! Bobby’s machine may change life as we know it. Whew, just thinking about it, tires me out. Gotta go git a Cheerwine to mellow out ( with a Moon Pie of course).

Not at all! Love the drawing and the idea, but I start thinking about how it would work. That’s just the way my brain works.
