Here’s a helpful hint if you live in the Sierras: Don’t leave the window down on your car all night, and absolutely don’t leave hot spicy Cheetos in said car, because if you do, you’ll get raccoons, and they’ll eat every last Cheeto, even the crumbs, and leave you nothing but orange footprints over the ENTIRE interior. Greedy bastards.
(P.S. The pic is my view from flat on my back on the trampoline, where I was working hard and most definitely not napping — that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)

Oh, gosh, Jill. I thought I was going to read about a sudden thunderstorm and the interior of your car getting soaked. I never would have guessed raccoons. Only you. lol. (I’m laughing with you, not AT you).

Love your view, wish I had one like that at my desk in the dungeon, I guess I could print out your pic and tape it to the ceiling! lol
Posted on July 21st, 2008 at 6:38 amSorry about your precious bag of Cheetos, damn those raccoons, hopefully they at least got heartburn from the hot/spicy!!

You LEFT an unfinished bag of Cheetos?

Thank heavens it wasn’t bears that decided they wanted a Cheeto fix!
It was a long time ago.
Posted on July 21st, 2008 at 11:50 amEven here in small town USA I learned to never leave a window down! A cat went in one night & left its calling card! I discovered it when I sat down in the drivers seat leaving for work! Gross!!! I may have been late that day!
Your view is lovely, good for inspiration.

Congratulations to the caption winners…….
The picture of your view is beautiful. And as for the racoons they are certainly a pesky lot for you, but seem to love the same things as you……..
Sorry about the mess they left.

Racoons like hot/spicy Cheetos? Who knew?
Sounds like it would make a good super bowl commercial…

Love the picture, Jill. Too bad about the racoons, though.
