Cute little wild things:
Living out here in the
forest I encounter a good number of wild critters, for instance yesterday the
biggest doe I had ever seen ran through the yard. A deer is one thing and birds
are another thing, but squirrels were invented by some evil spirit to give me
grief. They are arrogant, sassy, and destructive. They must breed 22 times a
year, and that would put a rabbit to shame. A squirrel is naturally a
vegetarian, but like most vegans, they will cheat when no one is looking and
eat something else like baby birds, wiring insulation, a few years ago one
tried to eat my truck.
So I declared myself to
be in a state of all out war with tree rats. I call it Squirrel War I. Now I
sit on my deck with a loaded pellet gun hoping that they will come within
range. The other evening after dinner, I picked up my weapon and my half
finished beer and took up my position. It occurred to me that I had gone
completely hillbilly with a gun in one hand and a beer in the other. It also
occurred to me that I had the gun in my left hand, and I couldn't shoot
left-handed. I was in a panic until I realized that I could however easily
drink beer left-handed – just another one of those upper echelon decisions that
have to be made in times of crisis.
Watch for it... Maybe tomorrow on Kindle
