I ask him if he was teasing my cat and he starting huffing and scratching his front paws on the tree. I really believe he was trying to lure the cat over to drop the pine cone on him.
    I had left the screen door only closed one night and heard a ruckus going on and when I got to the living room I saw my 12 yr old cat on his back legs clawing at the screen at a large racoon on the other side. Never had a racoon on my deck that early in the evening before. The racoon could have easily clawed through the screen and clawed him bad, but was obviously toying with him. The next night the racoon was back with 4 of it's months old babies and all were badgering him.

    Where I am they get pretty tame and surprisingly playful. One racoon was on a neighbor's diving board and was swiping at a stand up inflatable dolphin as it circulated around the pool. Sure enough he got a direct hit and that was it for the dolphin.

    It was 2:30 on Friday, I still had an hour left on the plotter I was working on and I told the Lt. I was dealing with that I had to leave. I had 5 more open tickets and a plotter to deliver. He wasn't happy. He kept trying to pin me down on a return time. "So, I can expect you back on Monday at 9?" Sure , I said, "You can expect me. However you will be the third person expecting me at that time, so two of you will be disappointed."....He did not like that answer.

    Supposing the upper spiritual echelons are all knowing and all seeing I don't think it would it matter if they wore cling wrap as a period costume...

    My Mother is worried that when she gets to the Pearly Gates she'll find that St. Peter has been made redundant and an electronic security lock will be installed and she won't have a PIN code.

    And as for her choice of clothes it will be a thick cardie, warm tights and sensible shoes.

    Re Pearly Pin Code:
    If she is still able to drive. Buy her a set of personalised number plates to help remember.

    Since my Mother has never held a drivers licence the thought of putting her behind a wheel at 95 fills me with terror.
    It would be like giving a toddler a machine gun. (To all our American friends that is a bad thing).


    Now watch the trolls rev up and the hate mail fly!!!!
