But should someone choose to please do so from an elevated position and at varmints on the grass to avoid ricochets. If you have ever walked your young nieces to Einsteins through a minefield of goose crap, you might now think twice about slowing down when encountering them crossing the street. People a nuisance? like the women who buys bread at Meijer to feed the geese across from me and then drives away?JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-31936231271658433262019-07-21T16:42:15.075-05:002019-07-21T16:42:15.075-05:00He didn’t.

(Actually, 40% of all mammals belong to the rodent family.) But squirrels generally don’t lurk in alleys or garbage; they are happy outside, living and building their nests in trees, not looking to get in trouble. They can be a nuisance at times, for sure. But then, so can we humans.SandyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070366627628604352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-42216057475895334432019-07-21T09:39:44.072-05:002019-07-21T09:39:44.072-05:00A squirrel is just a rat with better PR. They are ...A squirrel is just a rat with better PR. They are destructive to homes and cars and people. Take the advice of a California insurance agent about deer and include squirrels also. He said if you encounter a deer while driving, do not swerve to avoid it. You risk running off the road into a tree or an innocent human. Of course his concern was rooted in the costs involved, but his advice is valid none the less. Rather than swerve or slow down when approaching a squirrel in the road, I speed up and aim for it. And not just because the bastards build nests in my engine compartment or climb on the window screens. There should be bounty on squirrels and Canadian geese, whose latin appellation translates to Canuck Shit Machine. Next time you see the battle of backyard rodents, better to aim a 22 than a cellphone. Just don't hit the bunny.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-48565797462510161042019-07-21T09:34:27.234-05:002019-07-21T09:34:27.234-05:00Well, that is a pretty cool action shot with the r...Well, that is a pretty cool action shot with the rabbit in midair, while the Great Rupert was...not so much.
