RE: What Charley taught us

Both squirrels and raccoons are pretty crafty and adept at getting into (and
out of) places.  Man isn't the only thinking critter. :>)  I think that is
why I like them so much.  As smart as we think we are building the squirrel
proof feeder or the raccoon proof trash can, they go about their business
proving the inventors wrong!!!  LOL!!!  (It's not all the fuzzy tail or the
mask.)

You story, Bonnie, reminds me that Ms. Fatma's co-teacher has an 
infestation of raccoons at her house. They can get into and out of 
almost anything. Havaheart traps are a joke. We have huge traps at work 
that we set for wild pigs. Occasionally, we catch a raccoon, but they 
have usually figured out how to get out of it before we get there.
