Well, you'd think so (about the legs) but I haven't lost an ounce with all this. It's a little irritating, frankly. It's funny, the raccoons don't get into our trash cans here. I have no explanation for it. I did ask the vet about the rabies and she said it's not really endemic to the raccoons in this area so I didn't have to worry about the cats tangling with one and getting infected. Definitely a concern since I have at least one living in my backyard. I definitely don't want to encourage the skunks to come around for food (for obvious reasons) and I'm afraid they may be living in the backyard as well. I'm tellin' ya, it's Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom back there. All I lack is a camera crew ;) Haha! Well, you’d think so (about the legs) but I haven’t lost an ounce with all this.

You must have mad hot legs! We had a few cat-food-loving skunks around here as well (they must have similar dietary taste.) I feel bad for the cats AND the skunks, but there's no way of explaining that to the little stinkers, and racoons wreak havoc with my trash cans besides spreading rabies, so I had to stop feeding everybody but my indoor kitty.

It kind of baffles me that bike theft is such a huge problem. I mean, is there really that much money to be made in fencing stolen bikes, or parts? I just don't get it.

I've only dared leave my bike outside a shop once (double-locked of course). Bike theft where I live is a national hobby - not surprising, I suppose, in a country where the number of bikes exceeds the number of people. But irritating. Good for you.
