It is always good to meet people which is one of the reasons for blogging. <br /><br />Funny that you should ask if I was responsible for the broken birdfeeder. It is a common mistake on account of the fact that to you humans, all squirrels look alike but I in fact covered this in a post which I entitled "Wasn't me".<br /><br />Finally Malaysia does have flying squirrels but we are trying to keep our carbon footprint down and would never fly all the way to USA just to raid a feeder. We have a clear understanding that the whole eastern seaboard is under the Atlanta Squirrel Clan, see?Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-26580773038742335092009-05-15T20:41:00.000+08:002009-05-15T20:41:00.000+08:00Dear Lone Grey,

I'm going to keep broadcasting that there is one very hungry squirrel over here that is demanding food ! And must be satisfied, for the squirrels wrath is no doubt fearsome. <br /><br />It is odd, we don't have many squirrels in France, almost never see one, so I don't think much about all your relatives, as I used to in Pennsylvania where there is an abundance of squirrels, but just this morning on a fellow blogger's blog that I follow closely, she put up a story about two very naughty squirrels who broke her new birdfeeder... Do you know anything about that ???!!! Can you account for your whereabouts yesterday ??? I told her about you... if you want to see the broken feeder :<br /><br />http://excessivelythoughtfulchewing.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Hmm, there are squirrels in the air... which makes me think, in south east Asia there are flying squirrels, right? Do you have any flying squirrel blood in you? Maybe you flew to Pennsylvania to do that birdfeeder job??? :-DOwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-82282684000546228302009-05-15T12:40:00.000+08:002009-05-15T12:40:00.000+08:00Steve,

What a miracle is life! The only near death experiences I have had have both involved me on my bike encountering motorists who were more concerned with their own endeavours than my survival. A car door opened into my legs sent me sprawling across the macadam... thankfully there was no vehicle hot on my tail. The next incident involved a motorist pulling out on me when I had right of way and I neatly arrested my forward momentum by kissing his bonnet. I haven't ridden a bicycle for years now.

I saw your...Dear Lone Grey Tree Climbing Nut Eater,<br />I saw your comment on "A Majority of Two" interpreting her dream from a squirrel's point of view, and could not resist dropping by to take a look here to see what happily demented mind could be behind such a refreshing take on things... and you certainly do not disappoint !<br /><br />I would be more than honored to become an honorary squirrel follower, if you would allow me to sit at the base of your tree and contemplate your squirrely antics. I sense that the reason your cheeks are puffed out is not because they are stuffed full of nuts you are going to stow for winter, but because there is a great deal of tongue in cheek going on around your tree ?!? ;-D <br /><br />My father was an anatomy professor, so I enjoyed immensely your take on amino acids and the miracle of being able to continue living, as I was subjected while growing up to having to look at glossy photos of microscopic views of our intestines at the dinner table... we are a race of hardy bastards unfortunately, which is why we have bred faster even than your mammal cousin the rabbit, and are busy cutting down so many of the trees that you squirrels need to live in. <br /><br />And some of us do seem to survive more than our fair share of accidents... I won't go into details, as it would no doubt bore you half to death, and I'm sure you have some nuts to gather, and some lady squirrels to chase, so no, I won't elaborate on the four major car wrecks I survived from age 19 to age 28, or the parachute accident where I was tangled up in the parachute of another jumper 1500 feet up in the air, or the appendicitis that became infected after the operation, or the crowbar that nearly impaled me in the garden one day (poem about that on my page somewhere way back), or the clouds of radioactive gases from Three Mile Island and later Chernobyl which headed my way, but which were miraculously diverted by divine winds at the last second, or the narrowly missed flood in Havasu canyon last summer, and so on and so forth...<br /><br />Oh dear, I did not mean to ramble so much, your squirrel highness...<br /><br />It would be an extreme privilege also if your most honored squirrelly being could help me to understand the underlying and hidden motivations that push me compulsively to photograph the subjects which are open to all squirrel visitors in the pages of the Magic Lantern Show. Please feel free to drop by, and don't hesitate to bring any other forest friends with you, badgers, hedgehogs, raccoons, beavers, armadillos, you are all welcome. I will even put out a bowl of tasty walnuts for you... beside the welcome mat...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-56873977549112370992009-05-14T18:41:00.000+08:002009-05-14T18:41:00.000+08:00Mark,

My younger sister was on the toilet when she realized there was no toilet paper. I went to the kitchen to get some napkins from a cupboard right above the stove. I considered climbing a chair to open the cupboard but decided to try to reach out and the moment I opened it the whole cupboard came crushing down, with all the glasses and plates in it. It brushed against my forehead and nose and I still have a small scar, but otherwise I was fine, if a little disoriented. It would have been sad to die because of toilet paper...Jelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903146833019745969noreply@blogger.com
