squirrels_conspiring raze this is a thing i've seen happen. come to think of it, i got to observe a bit of sneakiness earlier today. brindle watched charles bury a nut in the back yard. he waited until she finished her work (charles is a girl, though i didn't know that when i named her). then he waddled over to where she was, dug up her treasure, and ate it right in front of her. charles stared at him, stunned by the brazen act of theft, and gave him a piece of her mind. if you've never heard squirrels trade insults, they kind of sound like furry little monster trucks revving their engines. unless they're hans. when *that* guy gets mad, he yodels, yells, and chirps. i still want to know what jaws did with the fancy water_dish he stole in the nascent days of nuts_to_you. i like to think it's still in his drey, serving as a repository for whatever he values most. 241121 what's it to you? who go blather from
