We live next to a very large urban park in which there are lots of animals: coyote, raccoons, possums, and, of course, skunks. When we first moved here, we used to joke when driving home at night that we always knew we were home when we smelled skunk. Raccoons are scary critters. We sometimes see them in our backyard; I swear some of them look at me like they know me and hate me.

I hope business picks up - whatever business you're in - but if it does, do check in once in a while if only to chat.
