MNS-Squirrels on the street
Squirrels are pretty random. They just hop around and seem purposeless. But seeing them all the time while driving has made me remember something from Annie Dillard. I remember growing up seeing them have to dodge cars in the street all the time. When Dillard talks about the frog that got eaten by the giant bug, it made me think of how much it probably stunk for those unlucky few squirrels that didn’t make it out of the road in time. Some of them are so slow and stupid, it doesn’t make sense, but I guess you’ve got to feel sorry for them.
