That Oughta Keep the Little Critters Out!

As you may remember, last summer we had a raccoon invasion in This Land. I left the garage door cracked open to get some cool night air in the office, and a raccoon family sneaked in and ate our dog food. (And tried to beat up Idgie!)

No more.

The other day I bought this guy at the Home Depot and installed him and can now leave the side door wide open at night, protected by a locked security screen. So unless those little masked buggers can pick a deadbolt, our dog food and dog beasts should be safe.

Although with Gus, I'm thinking the door is more to protect the raccoons!

There is that. A neighbor stopped by this morning to see if the shoe on display in front of our house was his. (It wasn't.) This is after we returened the one-liter thermos cooler to another neighbor!

That's one way to get to know your neighbors.
