The Great Outdoors

Right now my husband is outside pointing a laser at a family (posse? cohort?) of raccoons. They are generally nonplussed by his presence and don't seem to mind the red light in their eyes. 

This is a problem. 

Tomorrow I'll be calling animal control. They will arrive with a can of cat food and a cage. They will catch a raccoon overnight and then take it away to be killed the next morning. That's just the circle of life, if you want to look at it that way.

Now my husband is spraying the raccoons with a hose. This must be done.

Didn't you have problems with squirrels or raccoons or something when you first moved in? The critters seem to like your area.

Maybe they can enter some kind of witness protection program and be sent off to start life anew?

Guess what. The city no longer traps the raccoons. So we're trying to co-exist. But I hate them.
