I just heard the most awful screaming outside like cats fighting buy only different. A quick glance to the couch assured me the dogs were inside, safe and not causing problems. I bolted outside but didn’t make it one step beyond the threshold of the front door for staring at me was a raccoon! As a leaves and a flower floated down from the tree above, I shot quick looks for the cat because sure the cat and raccoon were having a territorial issue. No, she sat calmly on the brick end of the wall where her food bowl stays out of the dogs’ reach. She stared at the ‘coon as if to voice, "what’s your problem?" The raccoon was stunned and so was I. Before I could pull my senses together enough to take a picture, since it was only 5 feet away from me, the raccoon waddled off. I looked up and there in the tree were two other raccoons looking down. Obviously they had a disagreement and this one was either pushed for fell 50 or 60 feet to the ground. Wonder if it is hurt. These must be the family of 5 cute babies that used to raid our garbage so long ago. They have grown into plump adults. I bet the clan is down to three (or maybe two now).

Why Twitter Rocks!
Without Twitter, where else would you heard about "frog potion" and "skunkwork lab"?
Today would be a good day to pull my frog potion out of the skunkwork lab. It isn’t complete due to missing ingredients. [Source, Twitter, @selves]

Iron Man Non-spoiler Spoiler
I am now following @Bagadonuts because of this Tweet:
Re:"Iron Man"(2008)The script revealed Tony Stark(Iron Man) to be the creator of Dr. Otto Octavius’s tentacles from Spider-Man 2 (2004). [Source, Twitter,@Bagadonuts]
Which is a shame that it doesn’t appear in the film because it makes the robots in the garage exponentially cooler! (and more believable)
Other great ones from @Bagadonuts:
