August 8th, 2012: Lessons About Squirrels

A squirrel accosted me with nuts today.  There we were; Charli and I, going for a walk just like any other day.  We see plenty of squirrels and bunnies on a daily basis so weren't paying any mind to the ones scurrying around in the trees. The squirrels were in the trees and not the bunnies.  I would be much more terrified if I saw a bunny in a tree.  Not sure why because bunnies are adorable but that would just be unnatural to have a bunny in a tree.

I digress, in a tree across the street from us there was a particularly rambunctious looking squirrel.  It scuttled up the tree and I didn't think much of it because that is what squirrels do.  They climb trees like Spider Man shoots web from his fingers.

Then a most strange occurrence took place. There was a small thwack sound on the street.  Looking around I couldn't see anything out of place or noticeable that would make the noise so I took a few more steps before I heard it again.  However, this time I saw an acorn hit the ground a few feet away from us.  I feel like it was an attempt on our lives by that squirrel.  I could see movement in the branches of the squirrel most likely laughing at our expense.

Now I wonder what if it is related to that creepy squirrel that sounded like a bird kawwing when it makes angry noises that Chad and I heard over the weekend.  Seriously.  Squirrels can make some scary noises.

I didn't take this video but it shows the sound that I am speaking of.

I can't tell if it is angry or looking for a good shag...

Either way.  Watch out for squirrels they might throw acorns at you.
