my apologies for not introducing mr. squirrel . he lives in the family back yard in california. mom stopped feeding him because he was becoming a bit of a 'nuisance'. mr. squirrel's retaliation was to eat my precious, young, barely-just-rooted avocado pit which was recently planted in the back yard. sniff. apparently mr. squirrel carries strong political and war views as well, is he watching a little too much fox news network through the window? i'm sensing some mingling with the old guy.
