I recently discovered Brahms violin sonata, and I love it.
I'm playing harmonica under a bridge by the train yards.

That had me baffled for a minute. That's a fox squirrel, and at first I thought it was szlamany that posted this. CT wouldn't have fox squirrels, but CA would.
I see those guys perched on the roofline of my garage in the morning, looking like little, furry, gargoyles (actually, I don't know if they are goyles. They might be boys). I've always thought that a hawk ought to take the opportunity to grab a quick meal, but haven't seen it happen, yet.
We've been getting this red squirrel lately - he's half the size of a regular grey squirrel. He's a loner and also fights for seed space with all the other critters.

Red squirrels seem more high-strung than our fox squirrels. Fox squirrels are about the size of gray squirrels, and may be more readily domesticated. At least, I've heard stories of people keeping domesticated fox squirrels, who get totally decadent. They seem more willing to live with humans, though I've never lived in an area that both had red and gray squirrels, and had a human population so dedicated to feeding them as there is around me. The fox squirrels in Boise will eat from your hand....and might even eat your hand, if that was the only option.
I hunt fox squirrels here in Louisiana. Whenever we kill enough (like half a dozen) we'll stick it in a gumbo, but whenever we have less we'll generally make squirrel dumplings.

Put a hairpiece on them and call the squirrel Trumplings.
Whenever I park my car under my neighbor's oak tree I end up having to clean all the squirrel dumplings off of it.

When I was growing up, we had a dog that almost never dug any holes. Then, one fine day, she decided to dig a burrow on the edge of the garden. This undertaking became so large that I could climb all the way into it, but couldn't quite turn around in the den at the end, though the dog could. That was the one, and only, hole that she ever dug. She was clearly all about quality over quantity.

Hence the miniaturization of dogs. Eventually, we'll have dogs that will live longer than we will, except that they'll be the size of ants. Dogs are well aware of this, which is why they are already scared of vacuum cleaners.
