Found an angry possum one night clinging to the inside of a second story balcony screen in a condo we used to live in. He'd snuck in from the patio, climbed the stairs like a theif in the night and walked through our bedroom at 2:00 in the morning...hmmph! Middle of the night, heard this little scrabbling, pulled back a drape and this mad possum was hissing at me! Jumped back, dropped the drape, went an' got a flashlight and a broom, came tiptoeing back in and woke up my wife, unintentionally, who decided to get in on the fun too. This lump, the possum, was high in the middle of the screen door slider, with the drape blocking it from sight. Still dunno how it got in.

Well, we delicately slid the door open a foot without disturbing his grip, and then I used the broom to sorta fudge him down the screen and along the floor until he was positioned right. Then I upped with my broom and skwurled him right outta that screen door and into the bushes on the ground below. Needless to say he was indignant, but I don't think he was hurt and we were doing a little victory dance over this intruder in the night...

If only I had known then what I know now...I dunno, I mighta used a bat...
