My dear friend chiefchigger is my main source for laughter and he makes an effort to see that I get a daily dose. I told him that I was going to declare my love for him to the whole world via xanga. Each night he sets a trap, then goes in the morning to see what kind of critter he's captured. He photographs it then sets it free. Hey, it's cheap entertainment. This is one of his pictures from last week. 
A couple of days later, he related this story: No critters came out to play last night, & I ran over something, the day I caught the coon, that cut a 4" gash thru the sidewall of my right rear truck tire. It is so hard to remove the spare I took the tire off & put it in the trunk of the Lumina. I can get a new tire mounted tomorrow, put it back on & only have to change tires once instead of twice.
I walk the trap line, but drove down to pick up the raccoon, cage & all, so Peggy could see him. She used to have a pet coon I gave her for her anniversary ( until he bit her after he got grown.)
He would accompany us while we did chores on the farm.
I was sitting on the riding mower one day and he climbed up on my lap.
All was well until I turned the switch & started the mower.
He ended up on top of my bald head with 20 claws dug into my scalp. Peggy said his back was bowed & every hair on his body sticking straight out, like a Halloween cat. Just the thought of him with that coon clawing his head sent me rolling on the floor with laughter. I live to laugh. The day I can no longer laugh is the clue that it's time to start the morpine drip. Another good source of laughs is SoonerRose. She has some lulus!
