Last month I did a post I called “Memento Mori“. If you’re not familiar with the term I’d suggest that you take a look at that post.

Well, here’s another one. When I came home the other day, I noticed this dead raccoon next to my driveway. It was close to the road so I suppose it could have been hit by a car hard enough to knock into my driveway. Or it could have been hit by a car and crawled as far as my driveway. Or it could have died from natural causes. I’ll never know.

I was tired from a day working and I didn’t feel like dealing with it at that moment. So, thinking I’d deal with it the following day I left it where it was.

When I came back to dispose of it, I found that it had gone. I’m guessing that a coyote, fox or maybe a vulture had taken it.
