Good morning to you, too

This morning there was a big thump out on the deck when I went in the kitchen to refill my coffee cup. Oh. Some bad things have been happening around here in the early morning hours.  Should I grab the phone and run out the front door in my pajamas?  I peeked out though the blind.  Nope, just a couple of teenage raccoons banging the gate.  So insolent and entitled, they didn't even mind having their picture taken.
