The other morning, Wednesday to be precise, I was walking to work, minding my own business, when I came upon two cute, little raccoons.
They were sitting on a brick retaining wall in the approximate area of 19th between Everett and Flanders. I thought they were especially cute because they were sitting in a manner to suggest they were chilling out. (One person pointed out that they looked like they were sitting at a bar).
I quickly took out my camera phone. To my dismay, I discovered there is no flash option! I turned on some "nightshot" mode and snapped the picture. Disappointingly, the picture looks like I was twenty feet away, versus the mere four foot span between the creatures and me, and it is incredibly dark. In an effort to get a better picture, I held my hand way out toward them with the phone.
This resulted in a very blurry picture and two angry raccoons. They immediately started growling at me so I hastily continued on my way.

Lol. Do not mess with racoons.
Unless they are stealing food while you're out camping. Then you throw something at them. Or shoot them. Depends on how aggressive they are toward you and if they look rabid.
Of course if they are rabid you have to burn them too. And that is horrendous.
Ew, lord. But no, I know they will tear you to ribbons. I've seen some before that didn't seem bothered by me, but these ones were particularly angry. Maybe they had rabies. My Mace will work on them too, in any case. HA!
Hahahaha, that's true, it will work.
But racoons are an especially brave animal... They'll come right up to you without being scared at all.
Brave...
I've got a vision in my head of me minding my own business and a raccoon just meanders up and shreds my leg to ribbons or something like that is its natural behavior...
Lol. I meant brave in that it is not afraid of human presence. Mice and rats are the same way. Most other animals flee with we come around.
