And Lori certainly knew she wasn't in Southern California while waiting overnight at her last delivery in Buda, TX. She was sitting in the driver's seat, looking out the window and enjoying the warm night air, when she saw a dark shape lying in a concrete spillway leading to a drainage ditch near the loading dock area. As she was trying to figure out what it was, a raccoon walked toward the spillway, probably going down into the ditch to get a drink.
That's when the "shape" lunged for the 'coon, grabbed it in its mouth, and proceeded to swallow it! (After the poor racoon gave a pathetic little cry.) Lori had been thinking about taking her trash bag over to the dumpster but decided staying inside the truck was probably the best idea for the evening.
Not knowing what the heck that thing was (she thought it might be an alligator), the next morning she asked the dock workers if they had a surveillance camera for the parking lot. When they slowly asked her "why?" and gave her a strange look, she immediately told them about the "attack." (They must have thought she had done something the night before that she didn't want on tape.)Anyway, they didn't have a camera but one of the fellows said he wasn't surprised about what Lori saw. "We have all sorts of critters around here," he added.
Obviously!
