Recipe for instant possum: 1 humid South Georgia climate 1 bucket dog food, no lid 1 garage 1 half open garage door Put bucket in garage and place half open garage door in front. Let sit for 24 hours. In morning, possum will be curled up fat and happy in bucket. Proceed to take many pictures. So. Today I poked our friendly neighborhood possum with a broom because he was asleep in the bucket...again.
