Oh man, you do not fuck around with raccoons. Vicious little bastards, and their claws are super sharp. They like to make nests in people's attics, around here.

I clicked start on the video, and not 4 seconds in, I see the dude's bare legs.

Dumbass.

OK, now I'll watch the rest

My friend in Nova Scotia on vacation was driving down a gravel road and saw this monster.

Ok. I lied. I found that picture online and it's a hiking trail, not a road.

But the lack of scale in the picture make this seem scary big. Am I right? That looks like a road, not a path.

Let's have fun with it.

At the end of the 'coon video you hear him say, "Is that babies in there?"

Explains the 'coon coming back at him ...

So the Mrs and I bought a house last month. It's probably one of the oldest structures in the county (Johnson County, KS, part of metro KC), as Johnson County didn't explode with people until the mid-20th century. It's 90 years old and in one of the older suburbs...there's some interesting hodgepodge housing going on over here.

We're on half an acre abutting a creek and some woodlands...it's very nice. And yet, just across the creek is Interstate 35...and IKEA.

This is the view from my office, where I generally converse with you folks:

Looks really nice!

I love it. It's so weird to me...in a good way. You have this old farm house surrounded by some newer houses and older dwellings. Then there is the nursing home at the end of the block. Then we have the creek, the trail and the park next to us. Then across the creek is downtown Merriam. Then across the highway is IKEA and a couple of shopping centers. At night, you hear the cicadas...and the trains...and the highway. Mostly the cicadas.

I have been lucky enough to have lived in two farmhouses. One had a large barn ( Jersey) pack house ( NC) with all kinds of treasures within. Old is good too.

Hi tarheel,

Welcome. Did that NC one have one of those old tobacco drying buildings on the property?
