Never forget 35 years ago I had to leave for work at 4:30 Am, and right by my car was at least a 50lb raccoon, I didn't know what to do, I stared him down, and he went away.

The winner of the 2024 Cadbury Bunny Tryouts is a 2-year-old raccoon named Louie, The Hershey Company announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday, March 26.
"Louie is a two-year-old raccoon from Miami, Florida, who was rescued by his owner Jaime in 2021 after he had been deemed unfit to live in the wild," said the Instagram post.
Louie, who is often found "lounging in his favorite tree," is also a philanthropist, said the post.
"Using his toe-painting skills," he creates art — which is then sold to raise money for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers.

Went back to his room, only to find Gideon’s Bible.
ISWYDT!..................
With each passing day, fewer and fewer of us get the reference.
Do you know what to do now.
I just shoot the buggers.
Rescue a raccoon dam people are stupide.
Gotta love Trash-Pandas. :P
I would LOVE to know what this is a reference to!
What’s this referring to?? I must know! :-)
Ha.
I met someone at work who along with his friends was a rescuer of rabbits. They look for them in the wild, respond to calls from people and nurse the rabbits to health. New one to me.
Funny story. He had a carpet covered step device for bunnies, apparently meant for use by cats to climb. But he said his rabbits lacked an ability to navigate getting back down from the top. Get up there and then are stuck. I didn’t test out the theory myself.🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇
Beatles song, White Album, Rocky Raccoon..............

Driving to work one morning I hit the biggest coon I’ve ever seen with the driver’s side front wheel. Damn thing nearly flipped my Ranger pickup!
I worked at a coal-fired power plant and a friend of mine was about 150 feet up our boiler when he was charged by an about 25lb. ‘coon. He kicked it as hard as he could and sent the ‘coon all the way to the ground via “air express!” Lucky it didn’t land on top of someone, because we were in outage and had several hundred contractors on site!
“Rocky Raccoon” was a ballad on an album entitled “The Beatles”. Paul sang it. It had a little bit of that Music Hall flair that annoyed John Lennon so much.
The backlash is the most recent attack by conservative social media users against brands who they say are “too woke,” or in this case, “erasing women.”
#BoycottHersheys was the top trending topic on Twitter once users saw Fae Johnstone, a transgender woman and 2SLGBTQIA+ advocate, was one of five women who are being honored as part of the confectioner’s “Her for She” campaign.

Boycott Herhsey
Davy Crockett knew how to put a raccoon to good use.
Love that song. Especially when I used to catch a buzz in my college days. 😀
But Rocky was hot,he drew first and shot...
The buzz.....
Those flies in the summer were a menace.
No booze or drugs of course.
Friend of mine when Nancy Reagan said “Just say no” replied
“I figure I’ll just say maybe.”
