More Tales of Sacramento at Night

Driving home last night at about 11:30 p.m., making the bend in Second Ave. just over the RR from 19th Ave., I nearly ran over two raccoons cavorting in the middle of the road. Ah, springtime! A raccoon has been coming intermittently into the back yard (first noticed conclusively on December 26th, but suspected before), which has me worried. According to the encyclopedia, raccoons will eat chickens: if they eat chickens, won't they eat rabbits like Cloudy? And why are there raccoons running around anyway in the middle of a city? And now, will there be more of them? Run Cloudy, run!
