Bandits in the Night
Last Thursday night, we were sleeping soundly. Then at about 3:30 am, we hear something right outside our bedroom window! There are those house noises where you say, "What was that?" and it ends up being nothing. Then there are those sounds that make you both jump up and rip the curtains open to see what's going on.
This was one of those sounds. It sounded like wood hitting concrete.
We looked out of the window and saw this:
A minute later, we saw a raccoon exiting the hot tub. It sat on the concrete for awhile, staring into our basement window. Then it hissed, and left.
That evening, Colin lit a fire under the hot tub to smoke it out (in case it was in there again), but it didn't seem to like the location it performed the break-and-enter on the night before.
Great. Stupid raccoon. One more thing to fix!

Update: Colin did a temporary fix on the weekend. Then last night, it decided to break in again.
Wow! That's a little bit of a bigger problem than the nasty little squirrels who keep visiting our birdfeeder and doing acrobatics to knock it to the ground, break it, spin it around until they get the huge solid mass of food out and somehow jump down and run away with it!
That is crazy. Of course, the worse story would be if you were sitting in the hot tub and a racoon decided to break in!
