        @Megatron1505 8.5E, but they fit very narrow, more like a 8.5D…
        I like the Bergs on you.

                Raccoons have invaded my attic.  This happened back in the spring and we thought we drove them out.  Now that cooler weather has arrived, they have returned.  We're going to have to have them killed this time.

                      Can you kill them legally in the U.S.?  Up here in the Great White North, it is ILLEGAL to kill these SOB.  We can only trap them, then move and release them somewhere.  Worst if they have young ones around, the mother goes beserk if you go near them.  My uncle (and he is an American and lives in Wiscousin) told me he just pull out his gun and shoot them when he sees them on his property.

                        It's legal to kill everything in Texas.

                        OK, maybe not everything, but as far as I know, it's legal to kill raccoons.  The pest control guy told us last time that kill traps might be our only option.  The racoon evaded the "humane" trap, which he said meant that it had been trapped and released before, thus learning to avoid them.

                        Home ownership is just one pain in the ass after another.

                          Fixed that for you 🙂

                            I’ve heard that one can legally get killed for trespassing in Texas…. Maybe I should be doing a duckduckgo search as to not make a fool of myself, but is that true?

                              There may be other local laws that would goof up Chris, like discharging a firearms in a residential neighborhood

                              Plus the last thing the guy needs is for a bullet to go through the raccoon, through his wall and into his neighbors house

                              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                To be clear, I'm not going to be shooting at raccoons in or around my house.  I'm hiring a pest control company to trap/remove them.  Whether they leave the house live or dead is up to the raccoons, but they will be leaving.

                                As for firearms laws, Texas is, not without controversy, a "Castle Doctrine" state.  Whether that's good or bad is a debate for another forum…

                                  Game 2 had Anand's weird blunder, and now an even weirder game today. Carlsen either spent the whole game re-finding the best book moves or spending too much time going through the alternatives, and then when he simply slips out of the book for one move, it's not like he drifts: he is lost instantly. So many of championship re-matches devolved into similar long-winded games of cat-and-mouse preparation and produced very paranthetical games over the long term.

                                    Ha! 😃 Always thought it might be urban myth or something and was never quite sure… That’s really interesting, thanks Chris! 🙂
