Some things were never meant to be mailed

(Venice, LA)

This is the last post office on the west bank of the Mississippi, about
two miles from the end of the road, period. A single raccoon had
colonized it, and scared the crap out of me when it began to protest my
presence. It was the first of several raccoons I would encounter on the
trip. I think when the Apocalypse finally arrives, it won't just be
cockroaches that survive; the raccoons will be right there with them.

Nicely done. Thanks for the pics and the info. I've never ran into a racoon on a trip, but I have been startled by a baby vulture and a yellow fire dummy.

Ah, good old Venice. The devastation down there is terrible. Even now there are boats thrown up in the marsh all along CG road.

That "raccoon" was actually an undercover agent for the Department of Homeland Security, on patrol for "t'rists" on Federal property.

See you in five to ten years.

I doubt the feds care about this bomb shell, but the mold and raccoon might!
A rabid raccoon is nasty. I still have a picture in my mind of one that jumped onto a lady from an overhead tree limb, and mauled the piss out of her head and neck before being subdued. Nothing worse than a rabies infected bite in the head or neck.

Risking nuts and limb for UER

Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
