A cyclist lawfully has to use hand signals or use turn indicators (yes,they have them for bicycles).Reasons for a cyclist to use a pedestrian cross walk can be because traffic loop detectors for traffic light change in traffic lanes at the intersection don't work properly in a particular circumstance and this can also happen to motorcyclists as well.It can be quite frustrating waiting at an intersection when a traffic light never changes due to defective vehicle detection (signal equipment).In some areas I ride on the sidewalks because I don't want to slow faster going dense motor vehicle traffic on busy arterial's in narrow traffic lanes that can't be shared though I have to stop to give the right of way for pedestrians on those sidewalks that I do use.
I will use a bicycle lane if it is there however sometimes I do have to carefully use traffic lanes for left turns and will properly signal.
Have I seen cyclists disobey traffic laws yes I have seen cyclists not legally wearing approved helmets ( my local city law) within my city and illegally blow through red lights.I also see many riders not using proper lighting at night either which can be dangerous. Also I have many times witnessed motor vehicle drivers not paying attention and not giving the legal right of way at crosswalks either or dangerously and illegally blow through red traffic lights putting others in grave danger.
When in doubt pay attention,scan the roads with your eyes and always use caution.Sometimes one must slow down and use lots of caution in certain areas due to traffic or weather conditions.

In the past he ran for the office of Pierce County Sheriff and got a substantial amount of votes.He also ran as a candidate for a Tacoma city council member.I would watch him on TV Tacoma at the city council meetings and it was like the three stooges taking over.It turned a boring city council meeting into a new exiting comedy channel..

No problems with holes in my homes roof however they are easily capable of destroying a house and will easily do so if the home is temporarily unoccupied (homeowners on vacation etc).
So far in the past I have shot one in the heart/lung area and killed about a dozen others by poisoning these destructive and dangerous nuisance pests.
These beasts are one of the worst pests in existence especially to farmers.They are also multiple disease vector carriers too.They also are not originally native to this area too but rather are an invasive species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon#Distribution....
The best thing to do with them is to exterminate them systematically.
A good idea would be to import more predator animals to cull their overpopulating numbers.
They were a big problem in my neighborhood when I had neighbors who daily barbecued outside and didn't properly dispose of their trash in approved containers but left their garbage outside in plastic bags.
Since those particular neighbors moved away this problem has subsided greatly.
