I was sitting on my front step a few months ago at about 3am. I hear this russling in the bush next to me, look over, and there's this huge raccoon staring back at me from like 5 feet away. I jump up cuz he scared the hell out of me, he jumps back standing on his back legs with this horrified look in his face, and then runs up the tree in the front yard and keeps peeking at me from behind it. Every night for the past week or so I've almost hit deer on my street too. I live in Brooklyn Park, but there's a wildlife refuge in my backyard so I'm sure that has something to do with it. On a similar note, I want to build a trebuchet and lure a squirrel into it. They keep chewing on stuff, and a squirrel flying 50 or 100 feet through the air might be at least a little humorous. -jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Scot Jenkins [mailto:scot+tcluggen at thinkunix.net] > Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 2:25 AM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Off Topic But Wow. > > > I had 2 racoons on my lawn last night.
