Friday night I discovered new neighbors. Maybe I'm being presumptuous thinking they're neighbors when they might just be passing through the neighborhood. After all in the past I've seen their type down at the Birdhouse and while cycling at night.

The poor varmints were mooching off the corn, nuts and sunflower seeds left out for the piggens and squirtles. After snapping these pics I quartered two apples and brought them outside for them. One was a little bold and took a few steps towards me but didn't come any closer than six feet. The other raccoon remained behind the tree observing the encounter.
Brace yourself and hover your cursor below because things didn't work out...
Suddenly the fucker leapt making a spine chilling howl of "gotcha!!! hoo boy are you gullible!!!!" The raccoon just trundled away and didn't attack me.
Continued 'neath the dream.
I was pedalling down Willamette, for the people in New Jersey that's how it's spelled go figure, when I checked my gearing. I was in a pretty low gear heading downhill and still exerting myself. First I wondered if I was asleep, realized I really, really was awake and shifted up a whole gear with the front derailleur.
If it wasn't for my momentum I would've stopped and tipped over right then and there because now when I tried to pedal it was nearly impossible. Kept cursing myself for falling out of habit and suddenly atrophying into something far useless than my day-to-day self.
As you already saw earlier in today's edition a simple cascading style sheet trick was implemented here at heptapod.org. Over the past few months of her tenure you've seen the addition of those show/hide boxes and enjoyed various behind-the-scenes gimmicks which hopefully will make browsing heptapod.org marginally less painful for you, gentle reader.

Nope, they're my brand new lobster claw gloves! They're really warm! On Saturday afternoon I posted an earnest review of my new handgear.
In case anyone is wondering, most likely people I owe money, these gloves were purchased after I sold the disc brakes off my old bicycle which died back in October. The remainder will be used to purchase cat food.
