Happily, I had my bicycle in the back of the truck and I was able to ride back home to get my car and some gas. Not a huge crisis, but enough, since my adrenaline had already been used up the previous night. [...] [...] Then today, Anne Marie and I were returning a opossum to the wild when I discovered that Lauren had at some point switched the gas tank switch and we were now out of gas without any warning.

Raccoons prefer sardines, by the way. Don't forget to obtain your free permit to trap to trap and relocate. (The other side of Fern Ridge should be good enough.) You can borrow my trap for free.

Hmm second thought, that makes me hungry...!

Anne Marie went out to give it a fond goodbye and it hissed and growled at her ferociously. No love lost between Anne Marie and the raccoon! Lauren and I took it to its new forest home and it wasted no time getting away from us. We'll continue to put the trap out the rest of the week to see if we catch any more raccoons, or maybe we'll catch David, since he loves peanut butter and marshmallows. Anne Marie even suggested trying peanut butter and banana to see if we can catch <a href="http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/main_pbsand.html" rel="nofollow">Elvis</a>. Success!

I happen to <strong>love</strong> peanut butter marshmallow sandwiches. Before I know it, *pow* I'll be boxed up and released in the woods far away! This could be problematic...
