My Dumb Fear!

At my old complex there was a resident raccoon. I know I've spoken of this raccoon before. Not sure why but the rather large raccoon always had the ability to freak me out. He lived in the storm drain across from my building. He was conveniently near a large resident trash bin. He regularly rummaged around in the trash. He regularly made me scream as I would go to throw stuff away and up would pop his strange looking head. Well, now that we are in a new complex I still find it to be frightening to throw my trash away. I'm always on guard! The boys must think I'm nuts as I rush them in and out of the trash area. It's the dumbest fear!
