Cost to run the dryers is negligible. I put everything in the dryer and
push the Start button.

I use gas for drying clothes,hot water, cooking, grilling. Bill runs $8
to $10 a month. I'm not going to cart wet clothes around and hanging
all over to save maybe $2.50 a month.

My brother and SiL have a gas dryer and say that clothing and linens
last a lot longer than when they had electric. They say there is very
little ling to deal with.

Natural gas-- methane
Electric turns the drum and blower though.

Youse have a device that dries clothes and that runs partially on
methane gas and partially on electricity?

Sure, gas provides the heat. Electricity is for the motor turning the
drum and the fan that moves air to the vent. Others are all electric
and use resistance heating elements.

The first time I watched Fox news was in Colorado back in 2002 and I
was struck by the BS they were spewing. The worst was Bill O'Reilly.
That network is so screwed up and factually bankrupt that they could not
even report honestly about their own application for a broadcasting
license. They were told that if they were going to broadcast in Canada
they would have to have to abide by Canadian content regulations. They
didn't want to do that They reported a bullshit story about how they
were being censored by being denied a license. They were not denied a
license. They had withdrawn their application. They had blatantly lied,
just like they had with many other stories. They proved that they had no
credibility.

I don't get close enough to worry about it. When I see a skunk at the
bird feeder, I lean out the back door and hiss. They lumber away.

When my husband catches one in his live trap, he has a rig for covering
the trap and gassing them with car exhaust. There's some risk while
he's covering the trap, but so far, so good.

In fact, I have three. The dryer, the furnace, and the water heater.

A skunk is near the top of the list of animals I do my best to avoid. I
know a couple people who have been sprayed by them and it is a real
hassle to get rid of the smell. One guy had come home late one night
and went around to the back yard to go in the back door. He stepped
around the corner and got sprayed. Some of it got him in the face and
most of it hit is suede jacket. The jacket was a write off. It looked
like someone had thrown bleach in it.

At the time my family lived on the edge of town and across the street
from the Niagara escarpment. Skunks lived in the woods along the
escarpment and wandered down to our neighbourhood to forage for food.
If you were out walking one night you were pretty well guaranteed to run
into a skunk. That was a problem for me as a teen without wheels and
coming back from work or socializing.

We once adopted an elderly English Spaniel who turned out to have a lot
of negative qualities. The one thing I never forgave him for was rolling
in a dead skunk.

It would have to be infrared. The stinky weasels are generally
out at night.

We have a game camera with infrared, but we don't deploy it every
night.

it's sad that people do that to them. we don't normally
see them around here, but they feed on about the same sorts
of things that raccoons and possums go after (minus the
mudbugs). hmm, in fact, i've never seen them because they
are nocturnal and i'm rarely outside at night. i do smell
them. they dig up grubs from the grass and probably also
eat worms and slugs. harmless.

Hissing at 'em seems rather harmless...but they should have to eat it
if they kill it. I see them often just before daylight and they are
rather fun to watch. I hope the skunk gasses the dude that gasses them.

It may seem harmless enough to you. The skunks may feel otherwise. One
of them sprayed my brother while he was walking through the woods to
school and another got my friend when we walked into their backyard late
at night. There was no provocation on their part, but the skunks
apparently felt threatened enough to spray.

C'mon, man. Hissing at a skunk and making it feel unwelcome is
no big deal. They don't even run. It's more like they figure
"I don't have to put up with this crap".

My husband checks the yard at bedtime. Sometimes there's a skunk
15-20 feet away from the house. Sometimes I check the yard when
I get up at 4 or 5 am. Ditto.

They dig up the grass. I'm not a big lawn person, but I don't
want holes in what pathetic lawn I've got. My ankles have had
a hard enough life without turning one of them by stepping into
another hole in the yard. Would it be better to put down GrubEx?

They stink. I sometimes can't open a window at night.

My ex had a skunk take up residence in her back yard and wanted to get
rid of it. My sons pleaded with her to get a professional in to deal
with it. However, she has a negative attitude to taking advice or
instruction from men, including her own sons, so she got sprayed!

Some women are reluctant to take advice from men because they assume
they are being taken advantage of. My wife has a friend like that. She
had a problem with her car and asked me to recommend a mechanic. I sent
her to the guy I take my cars to and who I always found to be honest and
reliable. That turned out to be a mistake because a few days later she
was complaining to me that he had ripped her off and sold her a bad
battery. She wanted me to go and talk to the guy.

His story was that the old battery was dead and that the alternator
was shot. That made good sense because those two things often go
together. He told her that she needed a new alternator but she thought
he was trying to take advantage of a woman. Needless to say, driving
around without a working alternator the new battery died. She took it
back and got an alternator and everything was fine after that.
