This Is *SO* Raccoon!!!

On November 20, 2019, I created this Tweet:


On the same day, a fellow Tweeter liked my Tweet, having discovered it due to how I had hashtagged the word Raccoon.

The name of this Tweeter's TwitterTurf was (and still is as of this writing):

The same picture of raccoon every day

Here is the featured Tweet on the day I discovered this interesting place:



Here's the featured Tweet for today when I'm back here creating this blog-entry:



Having said that, I'm going to share some of the history of this TwitterTurf...

The first raccoon picture was Tweeted on October 17, 2018 shortly after this Tweeter joined.



Except for this one Tweeted eleven days later on October 28...



...the same raccoon was Tweeted every day of the rest of 2018 (final one of the year shown below).



On New Year's Day (January 1, 2019), the first raccoon picture was replaced by the new one shown below:


Sooooooo...

What are my plans for this blog-entry?

The way I see it now, my plans are to keep adding to it through June 8, 2024, which will be the 110th anniversary of the birth of my uncle, George Willard Jobe, who reminded not only me but, also, several others of a cute baby raccoon.

What will I be adding?

Various things related to raccoon.

I hope to be adding more even before this day is over, but I'm going to go ahead and get it published for now.

At this time, this TwitterTurf has 522 followers and will have 523 as soon as I join them.

I wonder if there will be even more followers after I tell more people about it.  We shall see...

Anyway, I think I'm going to make this Part One of the grand-opening of this blog-entry here on

Friday, November 22, 2019

And will be back a little later to add Part Two...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here is Part Two, which will be short 'n' sweet where I'm going to say that I didn't know until, less than a couple of years ago, the word raccoon is like the words deer and reindeer in that it can be used to describe both one and more-than-one of this cute, little animal.

The words raccoons, deers, and reindeers aren't correct words.

Of course, I've been aware of this in regards to the last two for years -- at least for 56 years ago today when I was in fifth grade and my classmates and I (along with the fourth grade class) were running through the music that would be used for our upcoming Christmas pageant.

One of the fourth grade boys kept insisting on adding the s to reindeer even when he knew better just to be silly and to annoy our music teacher.

Here is a LINK to take you back to that Friday afternoon.

That's all for today...

It's the last day of November, and I'm finally getting around to adding this new photo and story with an explanation why.  This beautiful woman is really missed.
