Uly, your avatar is very topical around our house today.
My son is newly obsessed with SpongeBob and the episode today we watched was the one where the sponge repeats over and over again as an attempt at joking, "I ripped my pants".

I don't think you should let him read the bored. Did he see my skydiving squirrel?

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

There are a lot of very happy squirrel ladies in my neighborhood, thank you! Would you like to count the notches in my duct tape bed?
