Attack of the Crackhead Raccoon

Attack of the Crackhead Raccoon, originally uploaded by triciawang 王 圣 㨗.

Some crack head tried to break into our place in Brooklyn, and then Raccoons tried to break into adriene's and my place in san Diego. I was grading papers and had my head resting against my window - which thankfully was close, and a raccoon jumped onto the window and started frantically scratching off the screen to break in! But at this point I couldn't see that it was a raccoon b.c my face was against the window - all I could see were two BLACK EYES lined with fur and something deliriously scratching at the glass!!! I thought it was a freaking bear on the 2nd floor. By then I had screamed my head off and I jumped away to see this thing hop over to my window that was open with a removable screen. As a went to grab my swifter to hit this thing - it started taking off my window screen! I am not kidding. I went over and yelled at it - and took adriene's camera and of course in my moment of fear I found 3 seconds of calmness to capture a picture. Then a second raccoon friend came out of no where - and I realized they were trying to eat the persimmons on the tree in the background - and the tallest branches reached the roof to my room. I live in the freaking country. where is brooklyn when I need you- would I rather have a crack head attempt a break in or a raccoon? what's worse - they are both fearless and crazy - a scary combo - but also they are easily scared away once they realize the unfeasibility of the break in. raccoon or crackheads - take your pick.
