Raccoons are funny little creatures. Up at the cabin we have an entire community of coons. They are harmless enough but they screech like some sort of demons in the evenings.


We have two of them that live in the area. One night, a brave one tried to charge me while cooking burgers at dusk on the Weber. I quickly discharged a ball in his general direction and damned if I didn't catch him right upside the head! I laughed for a while, and the wife stared at me like I was stupid (as usual).

On Friday, the wife was freaking out at the sound of what she thought was someone getting into the cars out front. I told her it was the trash cans, and when I opened the curtain, damned if the little critter wasn't standing there staring at me as if he was my kid with his hand in a cookie jar! Good thing trash day is Thursday...

Animals have a lack of fear here since they are all "protected". We find it entertaining, I guess.
