Tiny Terrors

Missouri is known for a lot of things. It’s known as the setting for Tom Sawyer and his worse off, socially conscious vagabond peer Huck Finn. It’s known for it’s turbulent weather, and as one of the many major points in the Lewis and Clark expedition’s trail. It’s known for it’s farmland. But the one thing that I think Missouri should be known for that it’s <em>not</em> known for is it’s awful, horrible, and oh-so-adorable squirrels.

Those little devils are the cutest things – fluffy, baby faced and sweet as pie. Unfortunately they also do a lot of damage around here. They have a tendency to eat anything you leave out (my neighbor left her hamburger on her lawn chair for a few minutes and when she got back it was all over the place with two squirrels eating the top of the bun. Plus, every now and then you get the smartie squirrel who figures out how to get into your house and cause a little mayhem. What we really need out here is well priced squirrel repellants, but because the bigger issues seem to be deer and mice you just don’t see squirrel repellent in the stores all that often. What a pain in the butt!

I'll warn you and delete the offensive part, but if you repeat the offense I'll probably ban you from the domain. I'm sorry, but I just don't have time for spam, racism, and so on and so on. Just to note: What I find offensive? Is what we'll call offensive, this being my blog and all. ;)
