Consider this a youtube Monday - sort of a takeoff of e-kvetcher's Music Monday.
There is no music here. Just raccoons.
This first one shows a raccoon eating kitty treats:

Raccoons also like light:

And here are a whole bunch of raccoons who just want some ice cream:

One has to sympathize.
It is very human of them to want ice cream, I too want ice cream.
I would share my ice cream with them (if there were any raccoons around right now), if only they would agree to eat it like civilized people - with a spoon.
It just tastes better with a spoon.
At this point I am fairly certain that an entire colony of raccoons occupy the abandoned church a block away. The place is boarded up and there's a warning to stay off the premises. There used to be street people sleeping on the steps, and people would leave small food items there.
The street people are gone, but the small food items still get left.
That has to mean that raccoons have taken over.
No, they didn't eat the street people.
Raccoons in the Bay Area are adept at undoing latches, locks, and loose planking, and they are not particularly shy around humans. This is a tolerant part of the world.
They assume that if they don't bother us, we won't get scared or start panicking and screaming.
Eventually they will find a use for us - they're certain of it.
And maybe we'll stop insisting on spoons.

Betcha his pad is very comfy. He probably also has some furniture he "borrowed" from somewhere, and an icebox (or hot plate).
Plus some spoons.

When I woke up on Tuesday the fog was thick enough to cut it with a knife. Much much later it had disappeared. My late lunch in Chinatown wa...

That was really distubring. That man seemed to be taunting the poor racoons - "here, little raccoon, want some ice cream?"
Bastard.
I would like to think that the colony of raccoons would be sharing their church with a colony of bats.
By the way, what makes you so sure that the raccoons didn't eat the street people?
Raccoons, as in ice cream?
