Harvest Jamboree

The title refers to the raccoons frolicking in the last planting of corn.  As I tilled the stalks under in disgust, it looked like they harvested at least as much as I did.  I've been told by some family members I should not be mad at the critters who help themselves to the garden bounty.  The argument is we should feel they perceive the garden as a gift to be enjoyed.  Next year, they are going to enjoy a quick trip to the local wildlife refuge, or failing that a small caliber final solution.
