Today, I fed squirrels. I had some whole walnuts that I had bought for them. I saw them out there in the freezing rain. Their job is to look for food, and they do it 7 days a week: every week. I distributed several walnuts to my squirrel neighbors today. At least one of them is very smart. I came out of my building armed with walnuts. I saw a squirrel foraging on the grass. I threw it in front of her. She saw it immediately and chased and seized it. That made me laugh. It gave me a lot of pleasure to help that squirrel. The fire dept. in Holley, which is near Rochester, NY, had an event last year in which they encouraged people to shoot squirrels. That disgusted me: especially when I heard that animal rights activists showed up to protest and the hunters goaded them with the bodies of the squirrels they killed. I knew I couldn't go to that event to protest, because I might have had to beat the shit out of someone who killed a squirrel.
Anyway, the squirrel who grabbed the walnut I tossed to her is smart. Her back was to me when I threw it to her. It sailed over her shoulder; then she got it. However, the next time she saw me, she hopped toward me. She figured out that I threw that walnut to her, even though she didn't see me do it. Of course I gave her another walnut. I had about 8 walnuts, and I distributed all of them to my squirrel neighbors.
I've taken out so many books, movies, and music from libraries that I don't know what I would have done without them. Good entertainment is very important. It can save your life. Sometimes you really need to watch a good comedy and laugh.
