The past two mornings I’ve been awoken about 9:30 a.m. — isn’t unemployment awesome? — by a squirrel chomping on a nut right outside my open bedroom window. Of course, I have to wonder where Sophie the cat is in these instances, missing a front row seat on the action. We only have about 2,300 squirrels in the back yard at any given time, so it’s odd that these are the first two instances (that I can recall) that I’ve been awoken by a squirrel. At the old apartment, the problem was pigeons. At least squirrels are cuter.
