I love raccoons, but I don't see them around here too often. I like the way they waddle--sort of like Theo when he's got his chain mail on. Our possum is named Hairy, but DD3 calls him/her Crystal Fire--which sounds too meth-oriented. Which reminds me...can't forget the meth labs, the beautiful southern meth labs, and the little explosions and fires in the night. Yeah, California's nothing much, when you come to think about it.
