more cat pictures
So, I was driving home tonight and as I’m cruising down 4th St., I was like, “Damn, why is there a pile of trash in the middle of the road?” Turns out, damn, it wasn’t a pile of trash. It was a whole family of raccoons.
There was a grown-up raccoon and three little raccoons huddled behind it all scared-like and it was so cute I almost barfed. And after I was past them I saw in my rear-view that the big raccoon was leading the rest of them across the street single file. Awwwwww.
But then the rest of the way home, after I smelled two dead skunks, had a moth suicide on my windshield and remembered the rotting dead elk in Arizona, I wasn’t so awwww anymore. Because those raccoons are going to end up roadkill or get some disease from eating garbage or get killed in a dogfight. And then I was like, ewwwww.
But for a moment, it was very cute.
