[TPR] Project update

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Reminds me of a story.... sorry, it's a clean one.

Long ago when I was living at my parents and was still attending school.
I woke up in the pitch black night to something crunching just outside 
my sliding glass door, which was partially open with the screen closed.
I got up, walked slowly over to the door, not being able to see anything.
I could hear the crunching just outside the door.
I flipped on the outside light, and there at my feet, less than a foot 
away was a juvenile skunk, no smell.
It was munching on a pine cone.
I switched the light back off and figuring it was about as blind as I 
was at -that- moment, tried to quietly slide the door closed the six 
inches it had been open.
I left it in peace and went back to bed, thankful for small miracles.
Next morning... no smell, so I must not have scared it when I closed the 
door.
