Raccoons!

From today's Times-Picayune:

"The battle for day-old bread and leftover popcorn still rages in the grass and along the walkways in City Park, but now the pigeons and squirrels have considerably less competition.

"As of Friday, about 50 raccoons that had congregated near the park's haunted house, attracting carloads of gawkers and raising fears of rabies, had been relocated by a local trapper to St. Charles Parish."

I've seen them! One time Sonya and I were at the park for a run. We were walking by the haunted house (and what's the story on that?) and there were dozens of raccoons surrounding the building. Some were standing, some were sitting. All were watching us walk by as if they might try to take us, if they thought the odds were good. It was a little spooky.
