A reader writes:
“Not sure whether to laugh or to get an updated rabies shot.”
From The Foggy Bottom Association:
“We have heard reports of an aggressive raccoon in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. The raccoon attempted to bite the pants leg of a neighbor walking his dog along 26th Street one recent evening.
Please be careful. If you see a raccoon, please call DC Animal Control ASAP at 311 or (202) 576-6664.”

Frankly, as a Texan, I have never had worse enchiladas than I had at Mi Cocina. I don't...
Okay, I’ll bite.
And don’t try to shoot it. Rabid animals are like zombies. They just keep on moving.
I’d rather a rabid raccoon in Foggy Bottom than the cougars out in Reston Town Center!
Totally serious – and yes, totally whacky sounding. But I hope people do take away the serious bit. Any animal behaving strangely is dangerous. Wild animals do indeed often show up on our city streets. And a racoon wandering around a city street in daylight is wrong. Any racoon in your back yard – or on the street is wrong. Dont’ freak out – but do be aware.
step 1: allow rabid raccoon to bite you.
step 2: make list of people you would like to bite
step 3: wait a few days for foam to appear at the corner of your mouth
step 4: enjoy your revenge!
Then die a horrible, prolonged, twitching, convulsing death. Or get rabies shots.
