Them Eyes Will Burn Right Through You

So Sharon and I had our first camping trip of the year: Bon Echo. We went a couple of years ago, and it was a lovely site.
Still is.
Except...for the raccoons. Proving we're still not quite past the "city slickers" stage, we foolishly left our food out. In the middle of the night, the raccoons came, ate all the remaining food (with the exception of pancake mix and apples). But it wasn't just that they ate it; it was how they ate it.
Let me tell you, waking up to a screeching, growling raccoon getting into the food bins is scary enough. But when you stick your head out from the tent and see five eyes staring right back at you...yeah, you just sort of give up trying to scare them away and let them eat all the food.
On the bright, rationalized side, they ate our junk food which, of course, was what we should not be eating.
Oh yeah, the weekend was pretty rainy, but we watched DVD's (camping, nature, what!), and I actually read a book (Bringing Down The House). I don't know what's gotten into me lately; two books in one week? Whaddahell?

Got some thinking to do for a possible position at work
