This story is NUTS! Look, a door.
So when I read this story on the air this morning, my assumption was that this guy’s truck must have been sitting stagnant in his driveway for a LONG time in order for a squirrel to get 42 gallons of walnuts hidden away. Nope. Turns out it had been in the driveway for TWO days. Crazy.
The other component to this story is that this wasn’t just a regular ol’ squirrel. Nope. This was a red squirrel. I don’t know if you’ve ever had any kind of interaction with a red squirrel, but let me tell you from experience, they are RELENTLESS. And vicious. Come to think of it, they’re not all that unlike my fellow ginger humans. But I did battle with a red squirrel at the first house we bought back in the fall of 2010. Somehow the little bugger had chewed his way through the soffit of our roof and was running wild in our walls. He was doing the lambada 24 hours a day in there! We called a pest control company and they put traps out but all they kept catching were grey squirrels who were probably just harmlessly running on top of our roof. FINALLY about two weeks later we caught him and got the last laugh. Granted he had the first 47 laughs, but the last one was the one that mattered.
Anyway, I would never wish harm on any of God’s creatures, but if all red squirrels died of natural causes tomorrow I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. They are menaces.
PS: We’ve got no deal with them!
Double PS: You know what I learned about myself while writing this blog? I can’t spell squirrel to save my life. I’ve misspelled it every single time.
