uninvited guest

[hudebnik]

As I was writing a comment on somebody else's post a minute ago, I heard a rattling noise outside. Looked outside the office window and saw a raccoon trying to get into the trash barrel in our back yard. I opened the window and shouted at it, which slowed it down for a few seconds. So I grabbed my keys, went downstairs, out to the back yard in my bathrobe, and shouted at it again. It jumped off the overturned trash barrel and ran a few steps away, then looked at me accusingly, like "Do you mind? I'm trying to eat here." I threw something at it and it escaped through the next door neighbor's back yard.

You know that trash panda just waited for you to go to sleep before it thought about returning.

Not even to sleep. This was at 8 AM, in broad daylight, so the next thing on my to-do list was taking a shower. But first, I heard it tip over the trash barrel again, so I went out again, picked up the trash barrel, and put a big rock on the lid.
