Rockee Raccoon in St. Paul

As Oobu said, posting the mountain of evidence that he sang "mining" is for the benefit of anyone else who might not know the lyrics. I'm sure there are plenty of people who assume the misprinted poster lyrics are correct, but then realize how stupid they are.
The bottom line for anyone open to either option: Does Paul's song vividly describe the characters in a mining town during the late 19th century gold rush that made the Black Hills of Dakota famous OR is he a moron who thinks they're called the Black Mountain Hills.
Of course, there's an exceptionally easy way to solve this little mystery. I'm not going to post it here, out of respect for Nancy. I get a kick out of how she's sticking to her guns no matter what, so I don't want to embarrass her. Imagine knowing with absolute certainty that you've been right for the last 50 years only to get incontrovertible evidence that you're wrong. That would really suck.
If anyone else wants to know a very easy way to know, PM me.

Just to clarify, I'm calling the misprinted lyrics stupid, not the people who believe them to be correct. I'm sure we've all misheard plenty of song lyrics. It definitely doesn't help when the wrong lyrics are printed on a poster that comes with the album. I thought Jeff Lynne was singing, "Don't bring me down, Bruce" for the longest time. And Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded By the Light" is better left unmentioned.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a raccoon? Well, actually it's a groundhog? He is driving me nuts! I bought 2 different "get rid of groundhog" & those type animals...but meither work. I've tried amonia, mothballs, paint thinner, just now I filled the empty jar of what was fox urine (ewwwwwww) & buried that down the hole. This little $hit is digging holes all over my yard & under my fence & is driving my dog nuts. What else can I use?
oh & I just hung up wind chimes back there cos I heard they don't like noise.

Sorry, I have no idea what to do. I assume you’ve researched it on the internet.

There are companies that will take care of it for you. I had a mother squirrel and her babies in my attic that they were able to get out and release in the wild. They also fixed the vent so no more could get in.

We had woodchucks in our yard once upon a time. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? Quite a lot.
Animal control set up traps that did absolutely nothing. So we put crushed garlic and pepper in their burrows.
Any time they dug a new hole, we put in more garlic and pepper.
They were completely gone in a week.
The benefit to garlic and pepper is that it doesn't hurt them, but they can't stand the smell.
It also won't hurt any vegetation the way ammonia or poison might, and it helps keep some insects away from gardens.
I don't know why every sentence is a different line. This website is strange.

Yes, I've thought about some animal trapper companies. But now I will try Haily's remedy of garlic & pepper. It's gonna smell good out there (to me at least).

Thanks but that guy was really small compared to my guy. Mine is easy 15-20#. He's fatter than a cat.

Should have put this here to begin with. It is more fitting.
