Squirrels


I was walking to the dorm today, coming out of chapel. Groups of people were walking in a long line to the cafeteria, about five to ten paces apart. Suddenly, I heard a branch crack, and saw some pine needles fall from the nearby tree, followed by... a squirrel, which quickly darted back up the tree.

The guy in front of me turned and looked at me and said, "Did you just see that?" My only response was a slack jaw, and a nod of the head.

I could take this story and philosophize about how chance encounters affect socialization, or possibly pass on the jokes my roommate made about "acorn moonshine," but this time, I'll leave the thinking to you.

I was actually thinking of putting a road sign up in front of the Ad building. If only I could find a long enough pole/stake.

When all else fails, make one! :D Whittle down a tree trunk or something--in your spare time. ;)

I think Squirrels have better equipment to whittle down a tree. Speaking of which, I just noticed that Beavers and Squirrels look remarkably similar...

Oh. They probably have a common ancestor. ;)
