Squirrels are Insane
I was sitting on my exercise bike when a commotion just outside the basement doors caught my eye.
It was this squirrel trying to drag 50ft of weed blocker up to his nest.
I only wish I had video of it… I took this picture a day later but he didn’t take the bait this second time. When I saw him the first day, he dragged that whole roll across the stones and up the stairs towards his tree before finally giving up. Yanking, wrestling, rolling… At one point he was stuffed up in the corner against the glass trying to shove it all in some non-existent pouch on his tummy. He was going to get that up the tree if it killed him. I don’t blame him. At the time, it was about 2 degrees.
Squirrels are insane. One of the funniest short stories I ever read was about man vs. squirrel and it ended with the squirrel running full speed into the screen door and using it to bounce off and on to the bird feeder the man had tried so desperately to keep him from. I wish I could remember who wrote that – it was one of the funniest things I’d ever read!
