Nature

I love Nature.

I love Fall.

I love this campus in the Fall.

I was walking through the woods behind Swain and the Law School last week, and on the brick path was a squirrel, stretched completely out - even to the point of his tiny back toes stretched as far back as they could possibly go. He had just begun to chew on a black walnut, and he was not interested in moving. I walked within 8 inches of him, and he stayed put, chomping away on the tough outer casing of that huge nut.

He watched me out of the corner of his eye, all the while chomping.

I was amazed at his tameness. He was on the ground - splayed out on some bricks - eating his afternoon snack.

I wanted to take him home.

Anyone have a pet squirrel for sale? I've always wanted one. That and a raccoon. Best offer?
