OK, so here's another critter story
remember the lawn killing nazi next door -- perhaps you saw the photo of his yard?
I was going out for a bike ride this morning when I noticed a black squirrel in his 'dead' yard having some kind of conniption
I mean, this squirrel was acting like it needed to be institutionalized
it was jumping up in the air (can you imagine a squirrel jumping about a foot off the ground?)
rolling and cavorting
maybe it was a male and had an erection and couldn't figure out what to do with it?
at any rate, there was a point where the poor lil critter attempted to climb a metal lamp post
of course this didn't work -- so that probably added to it's frustration
but by the time I went back in for my camera, the squirrel had vanished
maybe it got called back to the mothership -- I dunno
then a little while later, I saw this whole flock of lil birds (sparrows?) noshing down in the same area
but once again...I was too late with the camera
I wonder where they went -- possibly they all got sick and tumbled into the storm sewer
but the weather here's quite plesant today -- was around 57F when I went out to weed and water this morning
hope you're all going to have (or are having) a super Friday
we're off to a wedding later today
well, hmmm...
but this neighbor guy keeps getting stranger and stranger -- I asked him about a week ago to stop spritzing whatever it is he uses near my veggie plants and since then he doesn't talk to me...ignores me like I'm not there -- well, fuckem, I say, as long as he doesn't keep poisoning the ground, I don't care if he ever says 'hi' again
but we had 'words' a couple of days ago and he promised not to use his chemicals near my veggies
and then yesterday he ripped out all his dead sod with the intention (I guess) of replacing it with new sod or seed
according to the neighbors, this will be the 4th time he's redone his yard -- WTF you might well ask :)
