Same here (rural East Texas). The guineas also happen to be the best burglar alarms to ever come down the pike.

Absolutely. And they will defend their territory.

As many varmints have surely learned!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

That's what we need: genetically-altered mutant ticks.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
