Accomplishments today:

Scored the new Eddie Izzard DVD at our rental place, woo!

Took our old stale trail mix to the park and started a bit of a squirrel feeding frenzy. My plan to get them to take the walnuts from my palm while I tickled their bellies was a complete success; I wasn't expecting one particular squirrel to get so impatient he'd hop up on my knee and try to find The Source, though.

Took my gift card to the Virgin Megastore, scored Alex Ross's 'Mythology' art book at 25% off, and managed to dodge the old drunk who, for no reason I could figure out, followed me through all three levels of the store.

Now for situps, pushups, and looking at pretty pretty pictures.

we had one trapped in our house yesterday
the room,ates told me after i got up and it had been in here for many hours
(came down the fireplace Isurmise, to escape the snow)
when i roused it from it's hiding place it spent 4 or 5 minutes racing up funrniture and then diving headlong at the sliding glass door,.. even with the door open it couldnt find its way out.

Very aggresive that sqirell and I htink it braineditself royally
we chased it out eventually after much fright and screaming and many dishes broken by its rampage through our kitchen

so there.

KK!

No Squirrels!

[(Anonymous)]

The English brought starlings, and gorse, but no squirrels. It's pretty weird. The general lack of mammals is strange. There are no mid-sized predators to pull apart dead bodies, as we discovered when we found a dead sheep under the gorse out back. Back in the states the bones would have been scattered by racoons, skunks, fishers, etc. Here there was a nice and artistic pile of bones, everything still in place from where the poor sheep fell. Pretty freaky, horror-movie like in its way. I expect the horrible zombie sheep to rise one night and seek its revenge! :)

So, how do you rate squirrel belly? Any comparison to kitty belly? (which is the ultimate) Although... the DC squirrels are frightening, I dunno if it would be smart to try and gain belly access. (black squirrels in general)

Squirrel belly is startlingly soft, like rabbit fur. If squirrels could purr, they'd give kitties stiff competition.

You have black squirrels in DC? Coolness! I was startled last week to discover that red squirrels have begun giving their grey cousins a run for the money up in Maine--I'd never seen any when I lived up there, and now they're everywhere.

an FYI- apparently Jan 21 is Squirrel Appreciation Day! Might be cause to see how many people can be drummed up to rub squirrel belly.
