LOL Now as you describe the "City of Inglewood" things are a changing. Seeing opossum and raccoon roadkill on 94th street in LA is commonplace. Leaving my house on 94th St. around 4:45 am for my morning walk, I see a full grown racoon walking down the street. There's a fox that hangs around the community college where I walk and has wiped out the feral cats that lived off the gophers. <br />Now try this on for size. Headline reads "Street gang of a different specie". A woman in Alameda county out walking her dog. She sees these two eyes glowing in a distance coming towards her and her dog. As the eyes got closer, she recognized them to be on a full grown raccoon. She turned to run away and four more raccoons jumped out of a tree and joined the chase. She tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and as her dog held off the four members of the raccoon gang, one got by and bite the woman on the leg. The woman had to take a series of rabies shots. Go figure. We are moving into their habitat and they are fighting back!!! The raccoons have gone into homes thru doggy doors and munched on pet food.<br />So Chip and Dale may decide that they want to check out the upstairs when it gets to cold in the garage.

It is particularly sad to see (or be one of the) women who are unable to bring down their walls because they have been hurt and scarred in the past. Quite often what we believe is strength, is in fact merely a manifestation of our pain. Recognizing that and moving beyond it is a great gift many women could give to themselves. Unfortunately, too many will never admit to themselves that they need someone.Anushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-85160775229939053222010-11-15T09:30:21.664-05:002010-11-15T09:30:21.664-05:00Have only recently discovered your blog (via 6thye...Have only recently discovered your blog (via 6thyearmed) and wanted to tell you how much this post resonates with me.
