Squirrels!

I went over to Retriever's to see the iPhone 4S photos, because I knew, depressingly, that she would do far better with a phone camera than I would with thousands of dollars of equipment and an editing studio.  But just posted is a an update on the squirrels which caused 15,000 of us (our household included) to lose power this weekend.

Squirrels are evil, dangerous creatures.  If they didn't have cute, bushy tails, we would recognise them for the rats they are.  When you see a squirrel, think "rat with a cute tail," and you will not be suckered in.

Related.  Pigeons are not really birds, either.  they are rats with wings.

Thanks for the link and the kInd words, AVI. You forgot to mention deer--rats with antlers.

Perhaps you have chipmunks in your garage. Live traps seemed not to trigger, and the glue trap merely disappeared. However, they seem unable to resist peanut butter.

An engineer friend calls squirrels "mobile short circuits." Snakes can fill the same office...

Whatever. Just don't get me started on seagulls. Rrrrrrrrrrrrr.
