We have now arrived



We have now arrived in South Carolina. Yesterday we had a little visitor. It was a wild racoon. He was dying in our front yard. He wandered around our yard all morning until finally the Department of Natural Resources (because animal control doesn't handle wild animals) came out and shot it right in my grass. I now have a nice bloody spot in my front yard. Too bad no one was barbequing yesterday. They coulda had some good eats!

That's great! You should feel proud. I've never a had dead animal that big in my yard. Pretty amazing that they shot it for you.
