Just last night I captured an infrared video at only 320x240 resolution of some raccoon young'ns playing in my yard. They were at it for a good 10 minutes, play-fighting with each other. Then at one point when one of them was on the other's back biting its neck, the one under-attack reared backward and they both fell into a water-dish set out for them. The one under attack now thoroughly doused (as well as the attacker) became furious and now became the attacker. I'm still chuckling from just thinking about it while trying to describe it. I showed that video-clip to several friends today and none of us can keep from laughing every time we see it. I must have watched it a good 20 times and I still laugh out-loud every time. |

Just wait 'til the little *******s break through your kitchen door and evenly deposit a peck of ripe peaches about 1/4" deep on your kitchen floor... So cute - NOT! Then there is the battle to keep the garbage ***IN*** the can when raccoons are around. Funnnn! ;-) (Currently experiencing a "scintillating scotoma"...) --DR |

Then there is the battle to keep the garbage ***IN*** the can when raccoons are around. Funnnn! ;-) The ones around here have always been very well behaved for many years. They'll take food right from my hand. Very politely too. They've never tried to break into the house nor have they ever dug in my garbage. I wouldn't want them digging in anything dangerous. That which has to eventually be taken to the recyclers once a year is safely sealed-up from all wildlife, the rest is incinerated. People who live in the country are generally more aware and responsible about these things. We don't have the convenience of "out of sight, out of mind" garbage-pickup and an easy monthly payment to make it someone else's problem. I was considering posting the funniest part of this long video described above, but at only 320x240 resolution and seeing how people behave in this group I'd rather not. I'll just let close friends, people who deserve a good laugh in their lives, enjoy it instead. |
