Cute story. No servers to tip in this state for a long while. If anyone is brave enough to order take-out, that person handing it to you could be tipped.

That's funny.  I'm glad that it is not your hip that's hurting.

Re: Re: Re: Perhaps there was a bear in the area - or raccoons snooping around the

They can be sneaky lil devils. I have one dog (Hannah) small enough for them to look at as lunch, and she is the one that always wants to lead the attack. The pack might consider my boxer (Brutus), but they don't seem to travel in packs inside of the town. When they see my big black dog (Buster- current weight of about 145) they tend to scatter.

I've mentioned before that I carry a 9mm with me when I go out in the forests. A roving pack of coyotes could take down a human, but the growing problem we have is the growing wolf packs. A solitary wolf could easily take down an adult or carry off a child. I've seen several full grown males that are pushing 90 pounds or more in active stalking mode of me and my dogs. I suspect that it won't be long before they find someone who isn't carrying a weapon or isn't paying attention.

The farm across the railroad from my property has an old barn collapsing in on itself.  A pack of coyotes lives over there...I have shot 4-6 of the damned things because all of my small dogs were box lunches to them... I hate em!

I don't get many raccoons in this area of town, but we do get a lot of coyotes wandering the back alleys looking for stray cats or small dogs. There will be a stray raccoon, but my fence keeps them out of my yard. Skunks on the other hand always seem to find a way to get in. My summer project is to install a much larger (taller) wooden fence to keep the skunks out and the dogs in. It will also keep them from seeing everything nefarious that goes on in the back alley.

Re: Lol

Thank you.

My office is in the basement of my home and my bed is a good 35 feet on the far end. I can hear the little devils snoring from here right now.

Re:

LOL. I did tell you I was a stand up comedian for a while, didn't I? I was a frequent comedian over in Tampa for three years. When in San Fran, I did two open mic nights at a major comedy club. I enjoyed it and it made people laugh.

I need a few laughs. Thanks. Love how your dog's plotted to take over your bed.

trash barrel. Funny how a restless night's sleep brings on hip or knee discomfort.
