Slept well last night, happily enough. Yay, sleep!

Saw a _black_ squirrel on the way into work. I didn't know squirrels came in black! Was a bit startling.

Had frost that hadn't yet melted on my car this morning; need to make sure my windshield washer fluid is good for cold temperatures. Do _not_ want it freezing.

Wow! You have a _lot_ of them. Maybe they like Maryland?

We have always theorized that an odd black one ended up in our yard by chance and bred a whole tribe of them. It is squirrel heaven here, since we basically live backed up to an oak forest, we are generous with the bird seed and the old lady who lived here for 60 years before us was too. I only ever saw as high a percentage of black ones once before, at an apartment building where the old people sat on benches and fed the squirrels. They gave the black ones preferential treatment in popcorn distribution, which skewed the mix.
