Man-vs-Squirrel

Here’s a link to a very funny YouTube video about a former NASA engineer who built a multi-part obstacle course leading up to his bird feeder. I can truly empathize with this video – squirrels are some of the most intelligent and adaptable animals I’ve ever seen. I’ve spent many a day in my own battles, trying to outwit the squirrels. A board of nails, oiling the pole with the feeder, coating the pole and barrier with Tanglefoot…. In every case, the outcome is the same – the new method works for a day or two, Ray gets his hopes up, then they find a method to thwart it. Oh well… the whole ‘Circle of Life’ thing… 😉

Enjoy!

The infamous ‘Quotes Book’

Throughout my life, I’ve always been fond of inspirational quotes. I started collecting them ages ago, WAY back before the Internet and powerful search engines. A lot of them came from books and magazines (especially Reader’s Digest.) I collated them into a book and distributed copies to dozens of friends and coworkers who found them useful. I’ve even had cases where people have “filed their copy away” and upon rediscovering them during spring cleaning, enjoyed them the second time around.

So here it is for your enjoyment. I hope you find something that moves/touches you…
