And that scene in the <I>Great Outdoors</I> with the raccoons will be purged from any copy of the movie that come into your possession. Not fearing the reaper, but I do fear the possums.

Just like other people's children, other people's raccoons are a joy. I also have had an unhealthy fascination with garbage bins for the last year (eucan megabis - see www.publicspace.ca) so I feel a sort of affinity. “He didn’t just knock over the patio stone, he cast it down and smote it.”

After months of early-morning wadings through the slimy remains of soggy Rice Krispies and carrot peels, we thought we'd give the buckle a try (well, the choice was easy. A guy came by our house with a retro-fitted compost bin and traded us for our bin and 15 bucks). But it works! So off you go to your local hardware store. WARNING: The raccoons will become more desperate, so they will certainly renew their attacks on your regular garbage cans if you put anything even remotely resembling organic matter in them. V.

HA! Harvard graduate indeed. And, I am totally, totally on side with you. I am SO happy we are through the diaper phase because those racoons on the East end of TO have some pretty serious cousins in the gang that harasses us here on the West end. Bungee cords don't work, and I can't open the freakin' locks on those bins without breaking two nails, but our friends with the little black gloves seem to have no problems. Forget Shetland Pony, I swear those things have about 10 pounds on me. Horrible huge evil thieving bastards (sorry Alli!). Plus, I have outdoor cats, so it won't be long I am sure before I find the remnants of a feline feast... one where my cats were invited and then were never heard from again.
