The war goes on
I was given the task of protecting a cherished persimmon tree from the predation of a platoon of raccoons. Seriously. All year we'd see one or two in the yard and when the persimmons were ripe we'd hear a noise one evening and find a dozen of them spread around the tree while three specialists were knocking fruit off of the branches. Furry locust. I'm sure they were one of the plagues of Egypt that were edited out because the book was getting too damn long. Anyway. I installed one of these units as the fruit began to ripen and from the first night we'd hear it go off two or three times as it flawlessly executed it's sentry duty, one soldier against the horde. And that's where the plan failed. On the day we were planning to harvest we found the tree bare and saw that the Orbit had been knocked over. The Intelligence Section of the Raccoon Army had figured out that if they approached it from behind it wouldn't go off and they pushed it over so that the sensor was pointing at the ground and was ineffectual. This year I'm going to get another unit and I'll deploy them in positions of mutual support with intersecting fields of fire and sensor range. They'll cover each other's back and that should allow us to enjoy our own persimmons.
