While we were out for a walk today Tanuki attacked the lower leg of a guy who just happened to be passing by. He has never done anything like this before. By the time I realized what was going on I pulled him back. Luckily he didn't break through any skin, but he tore a big hole in the guy's jeans. I felt really bad and offered to reimburse him, but he kept saying "No it's OK". If I had sufficient cash on hand I would have just handed it to him, but I didn't. Perhaps being pent up inside during the storm has caused this, but I'm very concerned about this aggressive behavior and could use the Dog Whisperer’s help right now.

"There are so many empty houses in this city, all the time, which is amazing given all the people who can't afford to live here," Thomas said. "I like to think this is a way of recycling living space, of not having housing go to waste."
UPDATE! Zillow Book has been flagged as "objectionable". WTF is objectionable about it?
I wouldn't mind having one of these glowing pigs as a pet to accompany me on my evening walks.
The Feminists, a circa 1971 work of pulp fiction is featured on this new sci fi site, io9. Quite funny. I love the “FAR OUT!” period detail on the book cover.

The current Scrapiteria collage theme is goddesses and I found Our Lady of Highway Beautification particularly amusing.
Given my fondness for tea I also appreciated Doris - Goddess of Tea.
In traffic related art I also liked this Interthinker illustration by Valero Doval via Las insólitas aventuras del pez .
This NYT photo (Doug Mills) is a classic. After nearly falling asleep during the Republican debates I'm trying to pay attention to the Democrats now.
