I guess this could be considered a "rave". I survived my close encounter with a raccoon this morning. I was heading to my car at 0330 and just as I got there, a raccoon popped out of our garbage can. I looked at it and he looked at me. Luckily he stayed in the garbage can until I could get into my car. He looked at me for about another minute and then got out and went off about his way. I stayed in the driveway a bit just to make sure he was gone so I wouldn't run him over backing out.
