Patchwork: Good fences don't always make good neighbors | Addison County Independent

Patchwork: Good fences don't always make good neighbors | Addison County Independent:

Now this is funny. A gardener likens the woodchuck in the lawn to Moby Dick:
"Moby Dick the woodchuck is back.No, he is not an albino woodchuck. He just keeps resurfacing."
They tried everything to get rid of the vegetation-devouring pest but nothing worked. It became an obsession.
At the end, they compared a bigger animal in another garden:
“'You should have seen what happened the day a moose came and lay down in my potato patch.'
A moose? Now there’s a Moby Dick!"

Note, the author of the article also alluded to another American writer in the title. Robert Frost's "Mending Wall."
