Carlton and Parliament, 10:15pm, Thursday night. A stunned raccoon won’t leave the streetcar tracks after getting clipped by a speeding car. A couple of frat boys exit the cab that won’t pass the streetcar to see if they can get things moving and stop suddenly when someone mentions “rabies”. Eventually the man with bike pushes the poor critter off the tracks as cars honk their impatience.
