"He who wants by the mile and tries by the inch should be kicked by the foot"

A better night, but not by much. I did get to sit down and eat, and I didn't have to run any... just worked steadily most of the night.

Last spring, I noticed that there was a short-tailed squirrel running around... one of the babies of the year, and I assumed that (s)he'd got h(is)(er) tail bit off by a cat.

But... yesterday (or maybe the day before, who knows from time anymore?) this squirrel was building a nest in the maple out front. Then I noticed that there was another short-tailed squirrel helping out... so I can't figger out if this is a case of two stupid slow squirrels getting together, or if this is a sub-species or something like that.

I lack much knowledge of squirrely behavior. I think that I like myself better that way... 'cause if I really knew everything I would be absolutely insufferable. I'll just let this one be a mystery.

Tard.

Think that I'll go to bed now.


Thanx for being here!
