coon crossing

I was walking to Loblaws at about 7:30pm and ahead of me on Park St. a very large racoon crossed the road ahead of me and went into some bushes. As I passed by I looked into the bushes and a saw a racoon face looking back at me. I stopped for a minute to look and heard something across the road. There was another racoon but slightly smaller. He was a bit hesitant to cross the road so turned around. I started to walk on, but I could hear them talking to each other. Finally, the large one must have said :RUN as the second one sprinted (well as much as a round object can sprint) across the road and made it without being hit by anything. Racoons in our area are very well fed.
