Raccoons

Mom had a rant yesterday about squirrels (poor little squirrels! I mean, in their eyes, your feeders are "take out" in their neighborhood. Why wouldn't they take part? How big are their brains? Acorn sized?) but my beef is with raccoons. I don't have an issue with them at my house but yesterday on the trail while biking, I had to turn around slightly sooner than I wanted because there was a baby raccoon on the path trying to hitch a ride. Seriously, this raccoon just kept running in front of the family riding in front of me and then when they would slow down to avoid smushing the damn thing, it would try and jump up and latch onto their legs. I observed this for about 15 seconds and decided, "I'm out! I don't want rabies!" I've noticed these little critters on the trail before and they literally sit in the middle and glare at you. I've never had them try and latch onto my leg though. I might have to drop kick one if I did. Stupid raccoons.

I'd like to go riding again today...we'll see if that happens. I also want to give Sami a nice long walk but I'm not sure if she's up for it. Other than that, I've got no real plans. Oh, except I need to go to the post office and return a package. I got a quilt from Groupon and I don't like the colors. Oh well...

No real plans this weekend for the 4th. My neighbor is getting fireworks for Monday but I'm thinking the weather may not want to cooperate. It's looking like we're going to have some major rain Sunday/Monday. I'm fine with that though because it's DRY as shit out there and I'm for anything that will keep the fools behind me from setting off massive boomers. They set them off in the middle of the day too. I mean, what's the point of that?

Okay well, looks like we have passing rain showers coming through so it looks like I won't be going riding. Oh well...my butt needs a break anyway.

K - that's all I've got. Time for some breakfast and then laundry. Happy Friday and long weekend. Later!
