Ozzy Man doesn’t mention the fact that raccoons are worse than food thieves (at least in the U.S. and Canada): they can carry rabies. The last case of rabies diagnosed in a human in southern New England concerned a man who had been bitten by a raccoon. There have been reports from NYC and Massachusetts within the past few months of rabid raccoons biting people: Here’s a June 29 report from Malden, MA (heavy Boston accent warning):
According to Australian public health authorities, there are no land-dwelling animals Down Under that carry rabies; however, Australian bats do carry a related disease called Australian bat lyssavirus or ABLV. So it’s still true that Australia is full of critters out to kill you.
(Another open-thread comment about something I read, at Arnold Kling’s suggestion)
At his substack newsletter, Richard Hanania has published a good post about how the feminized woke interpretation of civil rights law has become a form of class warfare.
Raccoons can be very aggressive and nasty, esp. when they see a food source (dog food, etc) and your dog or you try to shoo off the bugger.
On a tangential note, I once chased, with the proverbial broom, a ground hog from under my parked vehicle. He ran off, with me in hot pursuit until a dozen yards from its underground lair, at which point he turned and snarled at me and bared it’s rather large front teeth.
Then I ran off, but luckily for me it did not chase me.
Turns out ground hogs are basically teeth and claws disguised as furry carpets.
Sad news from Norway. Five dead and two injured in a bow and arrow attack.
Reports indicate that it took police up to half an hour to arrive at the scene and take the attacker into custody, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK, and officials have cordoned off large sections of Kongsberg city centre, …
It’s not clear how long it took for the first police officers to arrive.
After the attack, Norwegian police were ordered to carry firearms, a practice uncommon in the country. “This is an extra precaution.”
Say it ain’t so.
Early summer before my senior year at Univ. of Colorado. My roommate and I were hiking behind the Flatirons when 3 baby raccoons came down the path. They weren’t in great shape and looked like abandoned by the mother or she was dead.. We gathered them up and took them home where we were renting a house with a fenced yard. Had to feed them with a bottle for a week or so, and then moved on to dog food as per a vet’s instructions. They were great to have around. They would play, follow us around, chortle at us and generally were fun. Towards the end of summer as they grew they suddenly hit puberty. Their whole personality changed and they became aggressive. So, we packed them up and released them where we found them. Last seen scampering off into the rocks and underbrush.
I hope I’m not veering off into click bait today, but this struck me as amazing on a few levels.
Though the original interview quoted [Justice] Ginsburg calling the anthem [taking a knee] protests “dumb and disrespectful,” [Katie ]Couric omitted parts she deemed more problematic, such as when Ginsburg reportedly said that the protesters were showing “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.”
Ginsburg added, “Which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from…as they became older they realize that this was youthful folly. And that’s why education is important.”
As the Daily Mail noted, the 64-year-old Couric admitted in her memoir that she believed the then-83-year-old just was too “elderly and probably didn’t fully understand the question.” Couric further described her struggle with putting her journalistic integrity over “personal politics,” saying she faced a “conundrum” when it came to the celebrated feminist Justice, believing that her comments were “unworthy of a crusader for equality.”
It reminds me of Orwell, “Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.”
Ginsburg is a little imprecise, and I wouldn’t have chalked all of our society’s wealth and compassion up to the government, though government does greatly help enable all that; but wow. They just can’t handle the truth.
Came home one day a while back to find a very large possum camped out on the lower run of my wife’s wheelchair ramp. Ramp is “U” shaped as it is a 50″ drop at 1″ per Ft. Possum refused to move and just hissed and bared its needle-teeth when I tried to get it to move. Went inside through a regular steps door and filled a large pot with cold water. Went to the upper part of the ramp from the house and dumped the water on the possum who then proceeded to slowly leave. Took my wife inside when he left.
On another night while home we had 2 large skunks decide the top flat area of the ramp right outside the patio door was a great place to stay. Took pictures of them. they were gone the next morning.
At one point, Raccoons, or simply “ coons” as I have usually heard them called, have had significant impacts on the economy. Both as a source of furs and as raiders on agricultural crops. Woe to the farmer whose melon or corn field is discovered by them. I know that some hispanics eat them . Once, when I was working for a roofing company in Waco, Tx, we pulled back a section of old roof and found a raccoon nest. One of the Mexicans told me they were, “! Bueno Comida!” And let us not forget the American frontiers man , and his “ coon skin” hat. And Davy Crockett at the Alamo. Did he really wear a coon skin cap at the Alamo? Or is that just in the movies?
My late Paternal grandfather, born in 1918, veteran of Iwo Jima, was a living link to the frontier days. Even when I was a child he was trapping furs to sale. I remember going with him to check his traps in the woods, and finding a trapped mink. He described Raccoon meat that is eaten as “ greasy”.
When he was young he raised enough money from furs to buy a 22 caliber rifle. Which he used to kill raccoons and possums and squirrels for food all the rest of his life. My dad used that rifle as a child. I inherited that rifle and it still works.
That particular grandfather was still raising and selling vegetables to at least 93 years of age. When he died at 96, I am fairly certain he still had a small garden even that last summer.
If you could have put that grandfather in a time machine and taken him back to the 1700s, he could have fit right in.
Except he had no angst with the Indians. I heard sad tale growing up how our ancestors were friends with the Indians before the Feds drove them out, presumably in reference to the Trail of Tears.
Yet he could fix tractors and trucks and replace water well pumps and other mechanical devices.
A dying breed. Probably killed hundreds of raccoons in his life. Certainly was not prone to feeding them!
And all my life, when we would go to south Mississippi to visit, there seemed to be a constant battle between him and the possums and coons over his fruit and vegetable plants.
Most People today view Raccoons way differently than those old timers did who both used the raccoons for their fur and battled them in their food gardens that they needed to feed their families.
Ozzyman has the racoon saying “I could get used to this domesticated lifestyle.”
I’ve often thought that it probably wouldn’t take all that many generations to domesticate them for real. They’re awfully cute and clever. Though I’m rather sour on them now because of several years of struggle with them over a bird feeder that they loot before the birds can get more than a taste. Currently I have withdrawn from the struggle but I see some YouTube videos with techniques for baffling them that look promising.
Racoons, bats, and skunks. Stay away, they carry rabies. Rabies is not found in Britain (or is the narrator Australian?).

For Neo’s Canadian readers: Toronto wants to claim the title of Raccoon Capital of the World. “Raccoons can be found in nearly every nook, cranny and tree in Toronto — especially in the spring and summer months. But is Toronto the raccoon capital of Canada? CBC Toronto’s Adrian Cheung looks at the trash pandas that call Canada’s largest city home, and why they not only survive, but thrive here.”
Now, I’ve never seen any Black American flags. And despite having studied the Civil War (and tons of history) – and yet there’s tons I don’t know – I’ve never seen this associated with it. (One commenter disputes it.)

Raccoons as garbage disposals.
For many years, starting in the early 50s until the early 90s my family and I would vacation at a certain fishing camp in northern Ontario. When it started the cabins were heated by a wood stoves for cooking, had kerosene lamps, outhouses, and an outside hand pump for water. Gradually this changed when electric came and they had electric lights, water heaters, a water pump, showers, toilets, refrigerators, freezers, electric stoves and heat. One thing stayed the same.
Garbage was separated into burnable such as paper, metal cans, glass, plastic which were cleaned and had a pile which got plowed under every year. and organic such as table scraps and especially the remains after fish were cleaned in the fish house. For those there was an area down a trail about 100 yards from the camp where they were all dumped. Every night the raccoons, skunks etc. ate everything except the fish skins.
Geoffb:

When I visited a town in SE Alaska, the locals took me to visit the town garbage dump; it was literally covered in bald eagles and grizzly bears all rummaging thru the trash looking for food scraps.

Just wondering: When did Joe Biden become Squinty Eyed Joe? I don’t think he had that severe squint when he was just a non-entity senator. The squint seems to have gotten squintier the more of a State-shtupper he’s become.

I’m a little bit not happy about the Let’s Go Brandon meme after reading an astute comment on Gab.

Ah, Mike, Mike…
How many times do we have to tell you that this crisis—like all the others—is NOT a crisis. It’s a FEATURE.
It’s part of THE PLAN. (And it’s a BEAUUUUT!)
And still, still, you remain unconvinced… (Not that I blame you really; it’s not exactly intuitive, is it? But then the Democrats—and their extraordinary brain trust (shall we throw in their “morality trust”, too?—have decided that to save the country it must first be destroyed. And to save the American people, they must first be pulverized into submission.)
And you know? It DOES make a certain kind of sense…if you’re a Democrat. And a globalist. And a utopian. And—of course—a perfectionist.
(True, the optics might be a bit tricky at times—I mean, how much can these crises be simply ignored or misrepresented or just plain lied about??—but nothing really that “our friends” in the media and infotech can’t fix…)
So let’s just wish Mayor Pete (or should that be Sec. Pete?) and Mrs. Mayor Pete (or should that be Ms.? or Mr.?, whatever) a hearty MAZEL TOV! LOTS OF NACHAS!!!
I disagree. Mayor Pete was hired solely so that they could have a gay man in the Cabinet, and Transportation was the place they could stick him where he could do the least harm.
And then OOPS, the supply chain problems didn’t work themselves out…
