Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

And we're supposed to be the clever ones? If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Maybe the next feeder ought to be strung up on a ten lb test. $\:D$ One swinging bear might make the others think twice about attempting a "snatch and drop". Do fish actually kiss?

We moved the feeder and the squirrel then waited for the jay to hide the nuts, then he would dig them up. The jay then pretended to bury a nut in the lawn and it drove the squirrel crazy looking for it. Squirrel finally left. 1/4 & 3/4 acre ponds.
