Day 2: The climb is proceeding well. After establishing base camp at the foot of Mount Smokey, we made slow but steady progress up the accommodating western face, with its irregular surface providing convenient footholds. Provided the garbage rations hold out, we should reach the peak by nightfall.
I think we should call them Mayhem, Chaos, Trouble and Danger. Something tells me they’re going to cause a good bit of each…and end up on Santa’s (cute but) naughty list.
I agree.
Umm…peeps, when you see a raccoon in the wild (or not-so-wild), do you get the urge to hug it, or is that just me? I never have, but that furry sturdy body looks made for hugging.
I agree, they really do look very huggable. But their claws would definitely make me think twice. Or three times. Or more. 😃
I think indomitable is the word.
Indubitably.
I just hope they don’t get over-confident and try to climb tall office blocks…
Just a quick post to say I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I just can’t afford internet right now, so can only search for free Wi-Fi. Today we have Dr appointments and they have free WiFi. I am doing ok, husband got Medicaid that will actually go back thru Nov, so the stress of those hospital bills is gone.
Good to hear from you Patty. Hope the finances start getting better and you’re back with us very soon.
Hi Patty! 🙂
Hi Patty! I share your complaints about high home Internet prices.I cancelled my home Internet a while back because I live near a library and a coffee shop that have wi-fi.
Thank you for letting us know what is going on. It sounds like there’s some good news. It was definitely your turn.
Good news! Let’s hope this is a sign things are taking
a positive turn,
I was just wondering about you, Patty, good to hear from you – and glad your hubster got medicaid! Good news.
Good to hear your good news, Patty!
Oh boy, I don’t think this is going to end well at all. Another fun fact about racoons. Did you two racoons uhm “getting romantic” sounds just like a women screaming as if she’s being murdered? Found that out when I called the cops thinking someone was being hurt and after they investigated, they told me it was just racoons doing their thing.
Ever hear skunks going at it? A pair thought our cellar was an
underground motel one February. Our kitty, Ben-Him, was
enthralled by the sounds coming up from beneath him. And
then, the aroma! Yikes!
Lonely foxes are similarly screamy. It’s an alarming noise.
Operation Santa Claus, Mike you “sleigh” me.
Hi Patty! Good to hear that some of the hospital bills are taken care of by Medicaid.
Patty, that must be a huge relief. Thank goodness we have the National Health Service – I dread to think what my dad’s five weeks in hospital would have cost us!
