I got home late tonight... decided to roll the huge garbage cans down to the road tonight so that I didn't have to try and beat the garbage trucks early tomorrow morning. I took out a sack to put in the trash can... opened the lid and a huge raccoon jumped out at me!! Holy crap! I screamed (trying to do it quietly so I didn't wake up the kids) and jumped clear back. That darn thing just looked at me and didn't even move. I ran into the house and made Bart go out to finish with the trash. Good grief! I think 10 years just came off my life....

That would scare me to death!! Yikes! Man, you guys have quite the luck with raccoons at your house. I still remember the time you found one dead hanging out of it.
Wow! I'm glad it wasn't in an attacking mode....... Glad you are still alive. You'll laugh at it soon. What a story.
Raccoons are scary. Have you seen their claws and teeth. I think it is a justified scream (and heart attack).
I can picture what you looked like because I've been the one to scare you that bad once myself. However, I still have to say you were the master of disaster when it came to scaring people. BTW have you grown out of that one or do you still practice on your kids:)?
Oh the mental image in my head for that story just makes me say hahahahahaha :) Glad he decided to not jump in your face!
