RACCOONS AND RABIES: New York City plans to vaccinate raccoons against rabies. Since December there have been almost 40 cases of rabies among raccoons in Central Park and upper Manhattan. Now the Health Department says that for the next couple months wildlife experts will humanely trap the raccoons, tag them, vaccinate them and then release them in the same location. (via)

I was drinking until bout 2 AM this past august. i took a cab with my brother to 111 and central park west. and decided to walk the 2.5 blocks back to my apartment along the top of the park. i walk on the north side (building side) because the drug dealers at the park frighten me. i took out my cell phone so the bums wouldn't bother me for money and pretended to talk on the phone. then i started to pass a set of stairs that went down into an apartment and i'm a foot away from the stairs when a head pops out and two paws on the sidewalk and it darts a look at me i jump back and shreik a little, then say "holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck" as i skirt past it really quick-like. then i hear squeeking and squaking up ahead that sounded like a couple cats playing a wrestling game with a few mice...rustling in the bushes then one by one heads pop out through the wrought iron fence and one steps out onto the sidewalk. i turn around, and the stair raccoon is now in the middle of the side walk. i was trapped ... and drunk. i called my brother he said i was drunk and seeing things but i know what i saw i ran into the road and ran down the block away from the coons. i was so scared. i didn't know what to do. i kept seeing that Family guy episode where the raccoon jumps on Peter's face. I've since seen bout 2 dozen raccoons, and i always carry bacon in my pockets.

I was gonna say the same thing. She obviously wasn't paying attention to what was on the screen.

maybe she's bitter about the case of rabies she caught in the park over the weekend.
