Live from Austin!

Things squirrels eat:

• Corn.
• Nuts.
• More corn.
• Sunflower seeds.
• Peanuts in their shells.
• Pecans.
• Tomatoes.
• Even more corn.
• Strawberries.

Things squirrels will not eat:

• Organic peanut butter.
• Corn Tortillas^†.
• Guacamole.
• Marshmallows.
• Celery.
• Carrots.

^†However, they will carry them away to use as nesting material.

We’ve had our first sighting of new young squirrels. They have been stumbling around in the trees and bushes and practicing jumping, still learning how to be a squirrel.

A week ago, there was a protest march for Zombie Rights at the Austin city hall.

Some pirates turned up to protest, with signs saying things like “Walkin’ dead ought to walk the plank”.
