Crappy photo, but you get the gist. Just had to call animal control about this intruder on my neighbor's driveway. He's not moving too swiftly but he also shouldn't be out and about at this hour.

Animal control?  My wife saves the Mandarin oranges that we don't eat before they get hard and stale to throw at the racoons.  I swear, the woman has an arm on her and a dead aim.  Sometimes it takes the racoons days to work up the courage to venture into the backyard again.

LALTS, this post took a turn I wasn't expecting.

Yeah, well...y'all will remember I live at the far edge of the exurbs out here, less than 15 miles from the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie national forest.  There's a ranger station on the way out of town to the east  We're accustomed to encounters with the wildlife.

Pellet gun would work better than oranges don't you think?  Besides, this years crop is going to be as expensive as eggs with no labor to pick them...

Ehhh...A pellet gun would offer higher velocity, and hence greater potential for accuracy, but the size of the projectile would magnify mechanical error.  At the same time, it offers greater potential to wound, but low potential of lethality.  That I carry a sidearm regularly, and own enough firearms to outfit a combat squad, doesn't make me the sadistic maniac the hysterical left suggests I am.  I'll kill anything that threatens death to me or my family, and I'll hunt for the sake of wildlife management.  But I'm not interested in inflicting pain on animals because they behave like animals. 

And the oranges that become ammunition are unfit for consumption anyway.  ;-)

Roberta Flack dead at 88.

That's a loss.  Her voice was sexy as hell.

Trivia of the day:  Flack's biggest hit was "Killing Me Softly With His Song," composed by Charles Fox, with lyrics by Norman Gimbel based on inspiration from Lori Lieberman after she attended a concert. Who was the artist whose songs were "softly killing" Lori Lieberman?
