I propose a moritorium on squirrel stories...

Haven't we heard enough about squirrels?

They think little ol' ladies are cute when they squat to offer 'em nuts.

This is beginning to sound an awful lot like the David Letterman opening
monologue. (Letterman proly would have said "little old men."

Sure. Stop listening.

Why are you talking about it?

A practical note: Squirrels don't seem to understand bikes, but if you
bark at them, they unfailingly head back to the tree instead of darting
to and fro and likely, into your path.

Squirrels are a minor road hazard. I've run over one, luckily missed
dozens. Chipmunks have gone through my spinning wheels. Bunny-hopped a
momma 'coon and 3 kits once. Near miss of skunks scared the **** out of
both of us on a couple occasions. Nearly missed deer on several
occasions and also chased a few down the pavement.

Man, the dating scene in your city must be really tough if you're
chasing deer down the pavement.

How about chickens? Here, it's all about chickens... millions of wild
chickens. In fact there aren't any squirrels at all.

When a rooster is chasing a hen around, neither seems to look for
traffic...

I wanna hear more about these NJ squirrels. Are we talking about
Northern N.J. "Hit" squirrels, or the equally dangerous Southern N.J.
squirrelzilla?

Interesting, I'll have to try that -- not sure how others will react to
pace line barking, though.

I've found a similar thing about geese (canada geese). They get confused
if you yell, but seem to understand hissing. My young daughter thinks
I'm mean to hiss at geese as we ride by, but I tell her it's just
geese-ish for "don't mess with me, I'm dangerous".

You guys have it easy!

Got chased by a moose - rutting season - in Maine.
Only time in my life I have spun a 52/12 on the flats.

HAND
WHOA, Nellie!
