I propose a moritorium on squirrel stories...

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?

Sick of squirrels? Don't know if any of yinz read Dirt Rag, but if
you're sick of squirrels, you'll hate the feature story.

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.

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".

At the web site with squirrel stories one writer concluded
that squirrels play dodge 'em with bicycles for sport. I
think so too. I also think that if bicyclists did not
swerve, weave, brake, or panic, the squirrels would find
less sport in it. Suppose we could make a bear swerve,
weave, brake, or panic by running around waving our hands.
We'd do it. But bears are not as gullible as people.

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

Believe it or not, I ran over an Armadillo while riding in the Armadillo
Hill Country Classic near Austin last summer. The stupid thing darted out
in front of me from the grass near the edge of the road. It was running
full bore when my front wheel when over him (my wheel was about 6 inches up
in the air). The armadillo rolled over (360 degrees), jumped up, and kept
running. After I got my heart out of my throat, I was totally amazed that I
didn't go down. This all happened in the blink of an eye! You usually see
armadillos putting around looking real slow, but I'm here to testify that
armadillos can haul ass when they want to!

I had two birds chasing each other; one went up at the last moment, the
other flew through my front wheel....and survived
