I had some tortillas I was going to throw away; they were over a month past the use by date and not so fresh. I thought it a waste to just go in the landfill so I threw them off the deck into the backyard after dark. (They actually flew pretty well, like floppy frisbees.) The next morning, they were all gone... I suspect a coon got them and maybe had friends over for a Mexican party. Maybe a possum?.. I wasn't sure I should be encouraging creatures in my back yard, but I see them pass through occasionally anyway. I have a motion light on the garage and it comes on when a large animal saunters by. One night the light was staying on a long time and I looked out the back door; there was a coon was out there at the bottom of the deck stairs. Staring at me. It was a bit creepy. I knocked on the door and opened the inside door leaving the security door locked. It looked away and moseyed on out into the backyard.
