"Raccoon Appreciation Day?" Rachael read. "Why, I'm a racoon! About time I get some appreciation!"

Rachael had hired the C4rn4tion Ph4ntom, the best hacker she could be bothered to find, to snoop in the computer of Inspector Gunngetcha, the dingbat bloodhound that thought he was on her trail.

C4rn4tion hadn't found any credible leads Rachael had to worry about. Just some light blackmail material on the inspector to tuck away for a rainy day. But scrolling through the inspector's email inbox, the pig had found a reminder for Raccoon Appreciation Day.

"Why didn't you tell me there was a day just for me? A me day? A holiday for me specifically?" demanded Rachael.

"Look, Ringtail, I'm a hacker, not a calendar," said C4rn4tion, rolling her eyes.

"I'm going to get a free piece of pizza and enter my (false) name into a raffle! Like I've always deserved!" Rachael said. "And if I don't win the raffle, I'll just steal the prize because I deserve nice things!"

"You do you," said the C4rn4tion Ph4ntom, accepting the wad of cash Rachael paid her.

But when Rachael went to the listed address, she found herself surrounded by police.

"HA HA GOTCHA! THIS IS A STING!" yelled Inspector Gunngetcha.

Rachael was shocked! "Raccoon Appreciation Day isn't real? But it abbreviates to RAD!"

"Oh, don't worry!" said the jubilant inspector. "All your old friends at sexy jail will appreciate seeing you again!"

This is another one set Sometime Before. Rachael has had a lot of miscellaneous adventures in her life.

Did you know that October 1 is International Raccoon Appreciation Day?

But that was a Sunday so here we have a belated International Raccoon Appreciation Day where I appreciate the raccoon I have.

Rachael, you're a heck of a lady. I wouldn't trust you with a penny but you delight and amuse.
