[weird events] Driving to work today....

[wispfox]

Apparently I offended a squirrel on the way to work today.

I was driving with the two front windows about two inches open, and a small acorn flew in the driver's side window, and hit me in the head. It wasn't until I got to work that I determined that it _was_ an acorn, mind you.

But damn, that squirrel has good aim! Through my only slightly open window!

Also, being so tired as to get sick is bad. I was home sick yesterday due to exaustion. I couldn't even remember my voicemail password, which was odd.

But! I get to avoid things which even get close to the evil of the past month for at least a month. Perhaps I can recover, now. :)

I don't know how well they throw, but they can drop with some accuracy. I was setting up for a party in a park one time and a very upset squirrel was chastising me from the trees 30'-40' above me. I never figured out what I did to offend him but as I was setting things up he, or she, was chittering up a storm and then acorns started dropping on me. He didn't stop until a number of other people showed up.

It may have been related to an incident with my pet Gerbils years earlier. A squirrel used to visit the window closest to my Gerbils. My roomies and I would joke that they were plotting the Revolution. I'd foolishly named that set of gerbils after world conquerers/rulers, Alexander, Catherine, Genghis, Attila, Napoleon (who was later renamed Josephine, oops) and Elizabeth.
