Marcel, Donna and Magoo all came by last night for a visit. I never see Who, What, When, Where and Why because I was unable to socialize them properly last summer. I did a very good job of socializing the previous year's litter. I am hoping for the best this year. |

Angela, you have the west coast covered. I do my best to feed the east coast raccoons, but I only see them in infrared, so it is hard to name them. My job is to keep putting out food, and keep them coming here. Actually, I feed every animal that comes in my yard. Foxes, skunks, porcupines, deer, turkeys, pheasants, bear, and even stray cats. I feed snakes also, but only pre-frozen food...... Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Angela, you have the west coast covered. I do my best to feed the east coast raccoons, but I only see them in infrared, so it is hard to name them. I deliberately feed plants, cats, raccoons, birds, squirrels, opossums and astronomers. I inadvertently feed skunks, but I'll confess to liking them. Skunks are really beautiful animals. |

Skunks are one of only two types of racing stripes that I like, from a distance of course on the skunks, the other would be a black Mustang GT with white racing stripes w/a custom disabled license plate that says either LePew or LPew, as in Pepe Le Pew.

Marcel dropped by the backyard for a visit last night. We don't see him too often now that he is all grown up, but we always enjoy seeing him when he does decide to come "home" for a little visit (and a snack). After Marcel polished off Spawnie's kibble, he looked around for his grapes. I was out of grapes... bad Raccoon Mother that I am. I was, however, baking sugar cookies at the time and Marcel found one of these to be an acceptable dessert substitute. He sat around on the back porch for another 40 minutes or so, just grooming himself and being bored and hoping that I would come back outside with another cookie for him. I figured one cookie was more than enough for an already pudgy little raccoon boy. When he finally figured out that he was not going to get another cookie, he ambled off. +1 rOZZ Music Pictures |

Baby had an adventure last night. I woke up for euphemistic reasons around 1am, and after taking care of business decided to step outside for a minute to look at the sky. When I came back in, Baby went out. I stood there calling him for a few minutes, but he used his feline prerogative to ignore me and just kept strolling and sniffing around the area. I finally went back to bed. When I got up again about 6:20, I called him and he came sauntering up the stairs and inside, as if condescending to my request that he come in and be fed. Just a few minutes later, he had the audacity to scream at me as usual for a 2nd can of food, even though he hadn't finished the first. Lately, he even does that while I'm in the shower. No catnip for him today. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I went out this morning to take some pictures. At a local park, the only thing(s) worth photographing were these geese. I started out quite a distance from them, using my zoom lens to take a couple of pictures. When I got up to where I thought they were, I couldn't see them. I started making a bad version of a duck noise, and they became very vocal, swimming over near where I was standing. I was standing on an embankment about 10-15 feet above them. I talked to them and they talked back. (I wonder if Star Trek's Universal Translator would have allowed us to communicate.) I thought I had video of them vocalizing. I don't. I don't know why not. (Brain cramp?) As I walked away, they climbed the embankment and followed me. I kept a safe distance. (They can be quite mean.) I climbed into my car to drive away and they escorted me part way out of the park. You can see a video of them walking along side my car here: http://www.zannpix.com/geese2.mov. It's a quicken movie. I plan to visit them again. Next time I'll take some multi-grain bread and make sure I get a video of them talking to me. ~Sue~ |

When geese talk to me, I usually tell them to shut up. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Fuzzy asked that I share a couple pictures of one of his many friends that stop by for snacks. |
