Last time I took the children to a zoo, there was an area given over to animals from Madagascar. Obviously, the lemurs were the main attraction, but they have a couple of fossas and the information board said that, in the absense of any of the cat family in Madagascar, this animal, close kin to the mongoose and meercat, had taken over the niche usually occupied by cats.
It was a hot day and, sure enough, the fossa was doing a good job of pretending to be a cat. It was stretched out in the sun, fast asleep!

Yup, vicious, rabid scavengers is right. Damn things are nothing but a nuisance, and occasionally take a bite out of any dog that tangles with them.
One night last summer I confronted a similar gang of them (two adults and six babies) that was in the tree outside our back door. Rather than resorting to a baseball bat (crude and ineffective) I instead made use of a handy old Smith & Wesson K-frame .357 revolver, which left me with one hand free so I could hold a flashlight.
The following week our Pastor was called upon by a parishoner to shoot a skunk that had somehow gotten into a cage holding a fancy pheasant her son was raising. After consuming most of the pheasant the skunk couldn't get out of the cage. Up until this point, I had been unaware that the remit of a pastor included such responsibilities.

Now now Bartolomeo, you really need to be more Christian and charitable about the racoons. They're just in denial, you see.......

A super-soaker water pistol filled with very cold water is a much safer form of racoon intervention.
According to urban legends, racoons like to lure dogs to the nearest stream, then hold the dog's head under water and drown it. So be careful if your dog is a local urban legend.
A much nicer little critter is the chipmunk; if you put peanut butter on the end of a stick and stand the stick in the ground, a chipmunk will climb the stick and pose beautifully while eating the peanut butter. You can then take close-up pictures with a digital camera, transfer the pictures to PowerPoint, and use them in a children's story about kindness and sharing, or possibly in a customer service presentation in the business world.
None of this has much to do with the point of this thread, unless of course Ann feeds SF peanut butter cookies to keep her off guard until the police come to toss SF head-first into a snowbank, where her protruding bits can be eaten by rabid, scavenging racoons.
But that seems a bit of a stretch.

Where you have raccoons we have foxes. More foxes in the cities here than in the country. Worst thing is the noise they make... can sound anywhere between someone screaming blue murder right down to heavy breathing outside your back door.

We have foxes, too. And coyotes. There were some articles in the Boston Globe last week or so trying to once again explain to all the suburbanites that the random appearance of one of these wild animals in your back yard doesn't constitute a major emergency. Just ignore it (or make some loud noises to encourage it to go away) and more important, don't provide food, intentional ("Oh, aren't they cute!" or otherwise (unsecured garbage, pet food, etc.).
Moose have also invaded some of the Boston suburbs.
All of which, IMHO, are preferable to the SF described in the OP.

Since we're speaking of vermin--have any Boston-area shipmates taken a walk in the Common recently? I've noticed it is advisable to avoid making eye contact with the squirrels there. If you look at them too long they assume you want to feed them, I guess, and mob you. I had a squirrel run up to me and put its filthy little paw on my trouser leg once, looking for a handout. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

Well in my experience, the more charitable or public-service an employer is, the worse they treat their employees. It's as though the service remit licenses a complete disregard for the people who actually do the work and keep the organisation on the road. The best employers I've had have all been private sector, commercial, profit-oriented. They understand that if you treat good staff like sh*t you will lose them. End of story.

Yeah, I work for a "faith-based" mental health agency. Essentially, they treat employees as expendable resources. The assumption is that basically you're a volunteer who will put in unlimited energy and should be grateful that they bother to pay you. The director actually told me that he expects people to tithe through their work ("I expect employees to give 10% back"--I was too stunned to ask whether he meant work for 90% of what they're worth or work 10% overtime for free), though of course this isn't mentioned in the contracts, or in the hiring process.

Greetings from deep here at SF central, sports fans. We're currently in the 24 hour countdown to the notice of eviction being put on the door, which then will launch a 48 hour countdown to actual removal. Those 48 hours are going to be quite sensitive, I think, as the SF may well be under the impression that since forcible eviction didn't occur last week, it just isn't happening. Plans have been made to keep the cats locked up and safe during the tumult, and God bless my old landlady who let me keep everything valuable in her basement until this blows over. (I knew doing all that plumbing for her would pay off somehow!)
Latest passive aggressive behaviour is coming into the lounge not just once, but twice while my date for the evening and I were in there. BEfore you ask, we weren't making any noise, not even talking as our mouths were otherwise occupied. (All clothes bar socks still on, thank you very much.) Bearing in mind that her intrusions occurred at 12:30 and 2 in the morning respectively, I'm not feeling charitably inclined that this was just a casual "oh, sorry I didn't know you were here" thing. Let's face it, staring is just plain rude!
As for the squirrels on Boston Common, I'm on the Common almost every day (I'm at Suffolk Law School) and they are aggressive little buggers. But I think they're cute, so I don't mind. Of course, they're all looking exceptionally fat this winter, so I guess the "give me a peanut or your trouser leg gets it" deal is working!

No toys were involved in last night's sofa encounter. And no clothes were removed until we went to bed.

So would Tuesday be a good day for a field trip to Boston? I keep my Tuesday free and clear of fixed obligations, it's my Fun Day; the weather reports are predicting reasonable weather (for January). Thanks to the decadence of the international trade markets, limes, gin, ice, and tonic water are all available in abundance. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

You need oodles more practise! I suggest that you get a triple A cup bra and put it on. Then each hour on the hour you can practise. This has the advantage of not endangering the delightful AdamMater.

The sherriff has arrived, Tex, to put the notice on the door. In fact, I was there and saw the car from the upstairs window, so I ran downstairs in my socks (had em on, this time) and flung open the door and invited him in for a cuppa tea. "We're SO GLAD you're here!" I cried. I even did a little dance. The notice is now on her own personal room door.
Considering she woke me up this morning (bear in mind that the one wall of my room is a Japanese style thing, so it is just a screen, directly across from the bathroom - not that noiseproof or lightproof, and we've had discussions before about not leaving the bathroom light on and door open as it floods my room with light) to her VACCUUMING the bathroom at 6:45, I almost popped out of bed to pop her on the nose, but instead I sat up, looked at the clock, said "the sherriff's notice will be here soon" and stayed where I was.
The cats are locked in Dawn's room for safety. Poor kitties!
With the 48 hour notice, the time and day is officially 10 a.m. Wednesday. Onlookers should PM me. I hope I don't have to work that day.
Unfortunately, I think the next 40 hours are going to be a nightmare once she finds out. Aggressive should be the tone, not the passive.
And for the record:
Taking a bra off under a top is easy peasy if you';re doing it yourself. I would theorize that it is harder if someone else is trying to do it TO you.
Waistcoat off under jacket holding on to door handle? Easier than above. Come on, folks, that's not even trying.
Undies off without undoing trou? Requires trick undies or a massive wedgie.
Socks off after shoes? Perfectly natural.

Wasn't there a saint who was canonized for never bathing? (I'd have used a real cannon, myself!), ah here it is:
St. Benedict Joseph Labré (1748-1783) quote:
He never bathed or washed his clothes. Some custodians, offended by the look and the smell of him, drove him out of their churches. When Benedict Joseph died, however, all his eccentricities were forgotten, or at least forgiven. Immediately he became the focus of a grassroots devotion. The priests of Santa Maria dei Monti had a death mask made of his face, preserved his filthy rags as relics and buried him in the church he loved.
After a rigorous investigation to make certain that he was neither mentally disturbed nor a fraud, Pope Leo XIII canonized Benedict Joseph Labré in 1883.

She did actually bathe this morning, following the vaccuuming incident. This was, in itself, unusual. But never mind.
She's going.
Mostly I'm going to be glad that when she's gone, she'll stop occupying my time even when she's not in the room, if that makes any sense. All this having to sort her out gets very draining.
I liked the Sherriff guy this morning. He seemed very good at his job, and in talking to him it came across as very reasonable. In short, if she behaves reasonably on the day, they will treat her reasonably. If she starts getting belligerent, etc, then she will just be removed from the house instantly and not allowed to return, and the movers will just move her stuff, end of story. This allows me to feel a little more compassionate, as it will be down to her how she's treated. The locksmith can come as the movers arrive, so it is all scheduled.

Well, with much less than 24 hours to go, there has been no freakage. I was out last night when she came home, but when I was up this morning I asked Dawn what had happened and it turns out Dawn was in bed by the time the SF came home as well. So, nada. Nothing this morning. So tomorrow it is (and of course maybe tonight, but hey, I'll take it as it comes.)

Maybe she's saving it all up for one spectacular freakaganza.

Ugh, I really hope not. I do sincerely hope that this can all be done in a dignified manner. Because if there's going to be a freakaganza, then the cops are gonna be there and will not hesitate to get involved.
You never know, I supposed there's a chance in hell she could get a stay of execution, but I sincerely hope not.
The good news is if she finds somewhere else to live, say, tonight, then the movers will actually take it there tomorrow, saving her the hassle, and also saving us the cost of storage. Fingers crossed!
