No shit... I left the back door open yesterday, and some raccoon crawled through the open window in the storm door, ate all my potato chips, then carried a jar of Jif peanut butter back out in the yard and tore the labels off trying to get it open.

Perhaps it's evolution at work.
If the raccoon who stole your peanut butter meets another raccoon who likes to steal chocolate, we may soon witness the birth of Raccoon Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
On the other hand, maybe it wasn't raccoons at all.
There are 14 (that I know of) raccoons living near the dumpster in my apartment complex. I know there are 14 because they were all sitting out one night having a Pow Wow eating old pizza. I hear more and more about raccoons these days. What gives?
I see raccoons every morning when I walk my dog at the ungodly hour of 5:00 a.m. One morning three raccoons scared the mess out of me when they ran out of the storm grate thing-y on the street. I have also been awakened by my dog's incessant barking thinking it was a prowler, only to find an evil HISSING raccoon perched on the fence mere inches from my dog. (He has a good vertical leap!) Couldn't decide if I wanted to risk leaving dog door open for my dog to come safely back inside or wind up with evil hissing and most likely rabid houseguest. If they got my peanut butter it would be ON. Peter Pan is my favorite but Jif will do.
I was unitarian universalist on belief.net but have always thought of myself as agnostic. I did indeed receive spammy stuff afterwards. Took the eHarmony challenge only to be told that there was no one for me. I already knew this. Single, never married, one broken engagement. I am giving up (in my mid to late 30's) and the only excitement in my life will come from raccoons. Or living vicariously through the blogs of strangers. Glad you are feeling better, and congrats on the award. I do enjoy your blog.

Better than a dingo and the baby.

I just hope they don't learn to open the pop tops on cat food cans. It's all over in my yard if that ever happens.

Well, I think it's just another result of six years of failed Bush administration policies.
Eventually, raccoons and fundamentalists are going to be running the country.
