I shut off the water to a region of the back yard a while ago,
and when I went to check it I found giant mud footprints
on the plastic groundcover. Raccoon or possum. So tonight
I hear a sound, and am outside, but its only the ~18 year
old cat. He is lucky as I am as tensed as much as my 250 lb
(>60 lb flab) body allows. Don't tase me, cat.

Yes, this is kinda stupid. There are no stupidity checkpoints
on the information superhighway.
