Raccoon Rescue
As we arrived at the local Starbucks, my three year old son and I witnessed an ongoing animal rescue effort. A raccoon apparently had climbed up a tree and got stuck up there.
A policewoman borrowed ladders from nearby establishments, first from Starbucks but theirs was too short. She got a taller one from Autozone.
A crowd immediately gathered around the tree. One manong came up to me and asked me what creature was up there. I told him it was a raccoon. The rescue effort took about 15 minutes in all. People applauded when it was over.
