saw a squirrel the other morning on my walk, trying to cross a six-lane carriage way. it got to the median and couldn't decide whether to carry on or what. then just as a speeding car was coming, it crossed then promptly turned around. i had to hand it to the little one, it tumbled under the car and still came out unscathed. little bugger. when it finally got to the sidewalk where i was walking, it promptly got up a tree trunk. as i passed by i said, 'almost a road kill, aren't you?' it just made a noise.
Squirrels truly are survivors ... much to the electrical wires in our shop which get chewed regularly!
