Something's in my Attic!

    Just saying that for my old friend Arnold, whose sanity I already questioned based on his mancrush on the talentless Mitch Hedberg, to post that in response to me as if it was MY decision or I thought it was an original name, was a bitch move.

    Yeah, I said it. :D

    Oh, it had nothing to do with you, just noting that that's a dumb name for a raccoon.

    And now I'm gonna send you Hedberg mp3s allllll day.

    You've now offended the other SportsJournalists.com member who PMed me whose family member ALSO had a wild pet raccoon named Bandit.

    It's better than Rocky!

    I reread the posts hoping for a mention of Smokey.

    And yes, naming a child after a type of wine is becoming more common.
     
  6. And soon thereafter, its name became "Christmas Dinner."

    UPDATE: I spoke with a professional on the phone. He wanted the details of what I see and hear and when I see it and hear it. After about 20 minutes of descritption, etc. the pro said I "likely have single male squirrel calling my attic home."

    He said there's no way I wouldn't know it's a raccoon. He said there would be shingles and insulation and other garbage and debris on my roof, deck and lawn. There isn't.

    And, he said if it was a family of squirrels, I'd hear noise day and night as this is breeding time.

    I'm a little relieved, other than the fact it's $300 to get rid of one squirrel whose calling my attic his bachelor pad!

    Are you sure you didn't call a shrink?

    $300 for one squirrel.

    Just go up there and displace his bedding. Throw it in the back yard or something. Once you've done that, he won't come around for a while. That'll give you the chance to seal whatever hole he's entering.

    There's no way a squirrel should cost you $300. Contrary to what "Christmas Vacation" might portray, a squirrel's not gonna attack you. Plus, if you go up there and he's in there, he'll probably run out of the entrance once you approach him.
