Maybe it was the reference to the hunting cap in "Catcher" that turned them
to the other side.

Hey there folks...just an odd little story I thought I'd pass along...
Apparantly raccoons are not really very big on our friend Salinger...I had a marine bio internship in Cambridge on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and was outside on a break from work laying in the sun and reading a copy of "22 uncollected stories"...The Young Folks to be exact when I heard a noise. I turned around, but wasn't wearing my glasses and as my eyes adjusted I just saw a very full set of teeth under the picnic table lunging at me, I blocked my face but it got my arm. Turned out to be a rabid raccoon. I dropped my book and started yelling "YOUR NOT BITING ME!" (among other things that I shouldn't print) while trying to hit the thing against the table in order to make it let go. It did, then staggered away and I went to a hospital to begin a series of rabies shots. Luckily, no stiches were necassary, and I don't really mind shots, but it was a crazy thing. At the hospital, I was told that raccoons do not like ! Sa! ! linger, and was given no explanation for this comment...very strange, just thought I'd pass that along. Hope all is well with everyone,
-pat
