Slipping silently into the desert.....

It is with some anguish that the Raccoon News packs up to relocate to another home. But 'times change', as we echo, 'and with them their demands.'


We will be broadcasting to you soon on our old MONEY CANNOT BUY basis from a new locus. As the Waukesha raccoon sewer networks do ostensibly run, we will now be only one block from the central meeting place in the historic downtown, which, we are led to believe, is beneath the old post office. That's a good thing.

As we've dug out of this old protective nest, there have been several poignant moments. We will mention only two now. (We're keeping a photographic catalog of several.)




One was the finding of the long lost embosser, headed ZEP, Yibawean Society. Search 'Zep' and 'Yibawe' on the SRN.


Another was the taking down of Erin's bed made from Lake Michigan driftwood that Erin and I collected on the wave-tossed shore at the Schlitz Audubon Center north of Milwaukee.... in 1987.

Dismantling this piece of noble furniture is not something I ever expected to do myself.
