the hazards of raccoon crap

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.04.02

I cleaned up all of the raccoon clap today, lest the boy wind up getting into it. Wore rubber gloves while doing so.

I then tossed the bag into the garbage bin designated for composting by the city.

Seems I got it only half right. Turns out that raccoon feces is dangerous. Not entirely sure what to do with the bag I've currently left in the compositing bin. I guess it'll have to go elsewhere.

Man I hope I don't contract roundworm. Guess that goes without saying.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
