Armadillo, sometimes known as possum on the half shell, has a funny history in the small town in northern Michigan that I am from. One of my barstool comrades had occasion to go to Texas on a short business trip, and on the way home brought a dead Armadillo back in a cooler, which he dropped in the road outside the home of a local newspaper editor...a real outdoor kind of guy. No common sense though...under the photo in the weekly fish wrapper the caption, "that he figured they were migrating north, but this one must have been faster than the rest." B'seed, Hightowers book isn't hard to find, in fact he is usually on tour around the country. for all the rest, seed is right on, this book is a must read for these times!
