Raccoon found atop Loop skyscraper
A wayward raccoon has been living on top of a 43-story building in Chicago's Loop.
A construction manager didn't believe it at first when a worker reported seeing the raccoon on the 36th floor of the Kluczynski Federal Building, but a cell-phone photo provided proof. The critter was climbing scaffolding at the building, where the facade is being restored.
Construction boss Tony Slavic used tuna to bait a humane trap on the roof and eventually captured the raccoon. On Tuesday, he released it into a forest preserve in suburban Chicago.
Jesse, I've wondered about the "planned" non-elimination legs myself, but I think they are planned, because otherwise how on Earth would Phil have been able to look those two adorable kids in the face (from the family TAR) and tell them they were eliminated, unless Phil is the coldest mofo on the planet.
I doubt Phil makes the decisions, either way.
I'm ignoring all the Lost whitefont. Unfortunately, I have to ignore all the Alias whitefont, too, lest somebody let something drop about the former. So you are all on the verge of being On The List.
TAR: No matter what else she says or does, I will root for Yolanda for the rest of the race because of her most wonderful statement and second thought... and both her and Ray cracking up over it. That's the kind of spirit that I want to see in contestants.
Given that there's money at stake, wouldn't they have to disclose that to the contestants (which maybe they do, who knows?), or be risking fraud?
Also, the hippies may be lucky, but this leg is pretty much always non-elim.
Hey Nutty, your first marriage proposal resulting from your High Hat article just came in. That took ~15 minutes.
I think they're locked into the route and the nonelim legs before the race starts -- logistically, it would just be too difficult to arrange that sort of thing on the fly.
Yeah, yeah, OK. Then I'm back to
the hippies are the luckiest people in the world.
What I've always wondered about is how they manage to arrange travel visas for everything without giving away the route to the racers. Do they make people get a whole bunch of extra visas as decoys, or do people just promise not to look at their passports until they open the clue?
is shy.
Thanks, Mr. Industries. I owe it to you.
