A very lucky raccoon had what was, I presume, the time of its life today, when it got stuck on a garbage truck in Virginia. Politico reporter Helena Evich spotted the little guy as he clung to a ladder.
Evich called American Disposal Services to alert them to the stowaway, and the raccoon has either been or is in the process of being helped back into the wild.
A small animal forced to cling to a giant trash container for safety seems like an apt metaphor for … everything.
