Raccoon Crossing

At 3:30pm this Sunday in the bright daylight, a raccoon was crossing Vassar Street at the Vassar/Mass Ave. junction. He was using the crosswalk, mind you, and was very elegant. People watched him in awe. My jaw literally dropped. I was the second car stopped at the red light. I watched him get to the east side of the street, briefly disappeared in a bush, then exit from the other side, walked on the lawn, then turned around the corner at that old police station building, the whole time with people watching him.

I saw flash going off. Where was my camera when I wanted it? I thought raccoons are nocturnal, but this one was definitely smart enough to get around in day time, and knew to use a crosswalk at the right time.
