Well that video certainly lifted my spirits along with the fact that I don't have a raccoon in my house. That's a good observation as well and I think what makes it worse is just how much they pretend to care. If somebody says " I've never paid attention before but this year I am..." you know with near certainty that they actually aren't.

And having an opinion on different matters is one thing even though it's annoying to begin discussing something only to find out the person really has nothing to say but what's really bad is when people have opinions...on facts. Like as if it should be perfectly acceptable for somebody to believe the earth was flat even though we know it isn't. Like that's just their opinion and they won't have it muddied up by facts. I sure wish those beliefs could lead to somebodies kitchen being destroyed by a raccoon. That would be so satisfying, like HA earth isn't so flat anymore is it ?

One day I might start learning more about cars, however for now I think I'll just leave that stuff to trusted friends.
