Even in Los Angeles, we have "critters" who wander around.
Right now there's a family of raccoons chirping at each other on the parking garage roof.
This goes with the overweight possums who raid the bird feeders before the squirrels can get to it.
And, on cue, a coyote howls in the distance. Only to be buried in the noise of a motorcycle blasting along PCH (CA-1).
