    Default Squirrel News.

    This is pathetically funny.

    From the Bend, Oregon paper, The Bulletin:

    https://www.bendbulletin.com/nation/...h-public-enemy

    When I was at USCG Station Fort Totten NY in 1980, all of the street lights went out one night. The light standards were
    erected in 1865 as gas lanterns then later converted to electric. But they kept the same glass panels over the lights.
    Very pretty looking.

    Anyway, the duty engineer and I investigated and found a squirrel had gotten into one light, chewed the wires
    and was immediately zapped. Roast Squirrel! We had the electric company come fix that damage and test the circuit
    before turning the lights back on.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I hate squirrels...nothing but furry tree rats

    We’ve had two die in our fireplace, separate times.
    Disgusting smell.
