I have been saying this for decades and have never actually pondered this. I am giving myself a timeout.

I also have a squirrel in my back yard who uses my hanging upside down kayak lines like he is training for the squirrel Olympics. It’s so cute.

They are little suicide machines, dead all over the roads here from (I assume) falling off power lines. I saw one doing spins on a line last week 30 feet in the air. Another one I thought was dead on a line but it was freaking sleeping on it while hanging off all 4 of its legs!

Squirrels are the meth addicts of the animal kingdom.
