Raccoon

On my way to downtown around noon, there was a raccoon on the pine tree. It did not shy away and even posed for me.

Bracketless wiper blades

For PNW temperate rain forest, we have natural sprinkler system to provide the water. As a bonus, the windshield wiper blades tend to wear out faster than other places. I've used Bosch wiper blades from Firestone store and they need to be replaced every year at minimum. Last week, I found a new type of wiper blades which do not have bracket at Sears Auto. Will try them out when it's pouring.
