I have to say I have a soft spot for raccoons. They are just cute. Their black masks and fingers just make me melt. Usually, though, I don’t see them, despite knowing they are all around me. Tricky varmints, they are. It amazes me that skunks, opossums, squirrels and these raccoons all live in our midst and yet we rarely run across them.

Er, scratch that. I actually run across skunks more often than I’d like, or to put it another way, they run across in front of me, more like stroll, in the evening time. Thank god for that white stripe or I might not see them and…squirt! Well, you know the rest.

My dogs, on the other hand, in their olfactory adventures, haven’t been so lucky, poor little darlings.

I’ve always loved lights at night…and paper lanterns can be so pretty. I love walking around town at night…just wish there were a few more people out in the evenings.

Great shot by Eureka!626.

Ok…so I’m fantasizing that I’m in turn-of-the-century London…never thought I could get a mysterious night shot with an iPhone…but there you are.

Monrovia Travel, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

I’ve always wanted to be able to afford to use a travel agency—just waltz in, you know, in some sort of perfect dress, gloves and a hat with a bow on it—and announce breathlessly that I need every thing seen to, just so…I probably watch too many old movies. Maybe in another 40 years I’ll manage it. Go on a cruise when I’m too tired to ride in a bus or taxi or use my feet!

You are entering another dimension, another space and time…and there will be… yogurt! Ok… so where is Michael York…for some reason this makes me think of that old sci-fi flick called “Logan’s Run.” As a film, it didn’t age well, unfortunately, but I will have fond memories of seeing it as a teenager. As anyone tried the Wii post-yogurt?
