Yesterday, I came out of the front door of my apartment, locked the door, turned around and saw a squirrel staring at me on the stairs about 3 feet away. I hesitated and thought he looked like a squirrel that had gotten too friendly with human feeding like the ones I knew in Yosemite. But when he started to come towards me I panicked, thought "rabid squirrel!" unlocked the door and hopped back inside. I peaked through the screen door, and he was slowly making his way down the stairs and towards my apartment! I banged on the screen door to scare him away, then immediately thought how happy my neighbors would be about that at 7 a.m. I grabbed my cat to show him what was outside thinking maybe the squirrel would be scared by him. The squirrel and the cat showed little reaction.
I looked around for something to throw.... Something that wouldn't really hurt him though. I grabbed a cork, opened the screen door a crack and whisked it past him....No movement whatsoever.
Meanwhile I have about 8 minutes to walk down to the bus stop and catch my bus.
I had to charge it. I grabbed my bags and ran down the stairs chasing the squirrel. (Now the neighbors are thinking through their mj haze "mmmaaann that lady is crraaaazzy next door")
He ran down the stairs and into the parking lot, but then stopped and turned back again.
From squirrels to bears...Soon, (I hope) I will be joining Andy in the land of grizzlies, mountain lions, etc. I don't think throwing a cork will work with them either!

The contents of this website are mine personally and do no reflect in any manner sane thinking or good writing. Since Andy has left for 6 months I am trying to still get out and see and do things. I will document my mundane happenings with a picture or two every day or so. This way he can also check and see what is happening here with visuals. Even if it is very very uninteresting!
