Ok. So I had to reference the dictionary four times during this read. Thanks you for expanding my vocabulary. Even as a kid, you used words which I had no clue of their meaning. Also as a kid, you not only talked to the animals.. on the walk home, you blew up East Center Street in your mind as you walked. So yeah, still a weirdo. 🤪😂 Thanks for your writing... I always read it while I have lunch, alone on my day off, at the Old Canal Inn, down the street. 🥰

Do they still make the Death Seat burger, the one they deep fry?

I love that squirrels have their very own playground world in which they pay almost no attention to us, right next to our world. Thanks for writing about them & for the Mary Gaitskil essays. It’s so true about the kids.

Squirrels are rather interesting and ignored for being common. I've got a cute video of a guy who built a squirrel condo on his balcony I need to share.
