#Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store & passes out on bathroom floor
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday & hit the bottom shelf, where the scotch & whisky were stored. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile collapsed & alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he’s a raccoon.

A raccoon broke into a closed Virginia liquor store and drank alcohol from the bottom shelves over the weekend. An animal control officer says the raccoon was found Saturday passed out next to the store's toilet. The officers says the raccoon then sobered up after a few hours. Officials say they released him back into the wild. Officials say the raccoon had zero signs of injury after the break-in.

“Hi. Hello. So sorry to bother.”
aka — how I interact with #FurryFriends
I apologize for the high nasal voice I adapt — I call it “motherese” or “I’m not a threat dialect” — really, it’s not my normal voice.
apparently some folk aren’t fond of audio with their video? (I’ve had complaints) — so … yeah … I guess, audio warning?

cuz we all need a break, so let’s look at the night sky
The annual #Draconid #MeteorShower is expected to peak on the night of Wednesday, Oct 8.
"The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more #Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight," EarthSky explained.
