For awhile Stacey has had this feeling that someone was watching her when she was outside on the patio at night. Last night she turned around and found this opossum staring right out her - not sure who was more scared.Does anyone know where the silent "o" derives from? Maybe it is a native language?

In 1610, to encourage their supporters back home, members of the Virginia Company caused to be printed in London a pamphlet called A True Declaration of the Estate of the Colony in Virginia. This gives the first mention in print of creatures they called "Apossouns, in shape like to pigges." Like Raccoon (1609), opossum is a borrowing from an Algonquian Indian language.
Didn't no I was so smart did you? :)
I've always known you're smart (you are after all a McKinley). Glad you're now assertive as well!
Except that I wrote no instead of know
