I checked this camera now and there was one skunk out of 1641 pictures. The wall is not even completed, and we're already seeing a pretty pronounced effect. Yeah, this is personal. I wake up at 4 AM with images of this border wall that are just burned into my head. It's going to be that feeling like when somebody you love has died.
