About 3 weeks ago I was riding my bike near my house, about 16 MPH, houses on one side, a cemetery on the other side of me. Now there are squirrels aplenty around here. Were I from the South, I wouldn't have to go to the store for Sunday dinner.

One of 'em darted in front of me, back, forth, and I dodged as best I could, but bikes aren't all that stable.

"Thump". My liberal ass fell. I was sorry. Looked back in my mirror and saw a brown furball laying in the road, kept going. Wasn't going to have a funeral for it, or even just throw it on someone elses grave.

On the way back I saw a squirrel tail in the roadway. Just the tail.

Man, that had to plain smart!

I've looked, haven't seen one without a tail hanging upside down on a power line, or whatever they do.
