That looks like Cris Kristofferson totin Possum Jones ;)
I sort of had a possum for a pet. I traded a parakeet I  got for CHRISTmas for one, and my Mama had a hissy fit.It looked like a good trade to me, but Mom didn't agree.Come to think of it, she was right! We didn't have Parakeets flying around where I grew up, but Possums were everywhere.
the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

That's a big 'possum. I don't like the idea of wild animals as pets, though. As they say, you can train them but you can't tame them.
