An ambulance just went by the end of the street off to parts unknown

Maybe they saved estranged family of yours.

Raccoons got into the garbage last night. I really need to remember to leave bricks on top of the lid. This is the second time this week I've been picking bits of unmentionable detritus out of the driveway.

New bunch of neighbours making noise, happily chatting together outside, getting a bit louder over time. It is 10:17pm. Sounds like a pretty big group.

The former main tenant would have told them to go inside or be more quiet by now.

We have had several raccoons harassing us lately, along with many rabbits (mainly in the garden, but I generally grow enough for them too.) and two families of opossums.

I actually have had a 'possum living in my garage, I have tried to sit and wait it out, but it has more waiting skills than I.

I am looking at setting up a baited trap (free to borrow from the Humane Society for a week), rather than my first instinct of just shooting it. For that to work, one has to first have a clean shot. It is too fast and I am impatient.

(Also, I do not want to shoot up all the cool shit I have in my garage just trying to get rid of a tobacco eating 'possum. Did I mention it ate half of my really fancy, expensive, pipe tobacco?)

I hope this is outside, otherwise we have a long winter to go.

Neighbour bitching about life to her partner or daughter. She seems to get more cranky and loud every day. Something is not well.

Took two of the pesky raccoons down which had decided that our roof was the place to set up housekeeping for the winter.

Hated to just shoot them, but firecrackers and bottle rockets did not work. Set up powerful speakers with hi frequency noise playing on our roof (heard this was the ultimate Green way to discourage pest animals) only lasted two days and they were back despite the noise. Went up there on our roof, poured a bottle of pee and tore down their nesting accoutrements. Still they wanted to live on our roof.

I had called pest control and had a trap brought by, but it was always tripped and the bait was gone, no damn raccoon inside for two weeks.

Finally, I shot them both.

I would have preferred to have the traps work, so I could have taken them to a wilderness area and let them go.

I feel that there will come a day when we are almost out of raccoons and I will remember this time with a heavy heart.

I doubt it. Raccoons are one of the animals that's thriving in human civilization. We couldn't wipe them out if we tried.

Whatever is happening outside, it's trying to get in.

I want this soooooooooooooooooo bad.

Next door's four kids are being very noisy, playing outside. Ceilidh made the mistake of inviting them all in yesterday and the day before while I was not at home. Today they bashed loudly on our windows and door and Ceilidh told me to ignore it. I told her it is her fault. They left after a long while but I can still hear them playing.

Me wants. Me can do.

Just selling the notion to the associated spouse would be the real issue
She loves weird, but does not feel comfortable showing it.

Living in a rented house is keeping me from it.
Though, it should be possible to make it in such a way that it can be removed fairly easy too.
