bare_bear: Caution sign showing a monster leaning over a cliff to eat a car (o rly?)
So last night, I heard a plasticy-sounding bang outside, and I figured I'd check it out.  Looking out the back door, I saw the garbage can lid on the ground and bandit eyes peeking over the top. 

You know, I've never ever seen raccoons before moving to Kingston. 

I chased off the little bugger, put the lid back on the garbage, and tried to position the can and the composting green bin in a way that might deter the raccoon from getting into the pail again.  But I knew this wasn't over.

Sure enough, about 10 minutes later, plasticy thunk outside my window.  I tried again to position things to keep the bugger away, but to no avail.  After the 3rd time, I gave up and put the garbage can into the garage.

I won.


This battle, that is.


(I left a sticky note on the door for the Lord letting him know that "due to a half-hour battle with a raccoon, the garbage is now in the garage".  He was suitably amused.  :D)
