Paging Moxie Man...

During a recent morning walk I saw a pair of squirrels just getting comfortable to do the Wild Thing. They were on a tree close to the sidewalk so they ran off (together) when I got closer.

I know they're wild animals but day-um! Doing The Thing clinging to the side of tree doesn't seem very stable - or comfortable.

Here's one for Moxie Man.... (squirrels)

In one of our neighbor's back yard is a butternut tree. The fruit if the tree has a green, fleshy outside with a hard nut on the inside. The inside the nut has a small amount of very sweet material. You need a pick to get it out so it's not commercially viable although it was harvested in previous centuries by the Native Americans.

Squirrels love the stuff. From the activity I've seen lately we've had a bumper crop of the furry maniacs. I've seen them in groups of four hanging out on front lawns like a gang hyped up on meth - except instead of fighting they run away. We've also had an extra large dropping of butternut fruit.

The squirrels peel away the fruit which rots and stains everything to a dark brown, then leave the hard husks everywhere.

Then last night I was closing a downstairs window - the old crank out type - and the window got stuck open.

Some furry f*cker and stashed a whole fruit on the window sill.

I think this is the year I collect all the fruit that ends up on my lawn and throw it back onto our neighbor's yard. Their tree... they can deal with the fruit.
