Squirrel

Highlight from yesterday: I spent ten minutes watching a squirrel in my back yard. It was carrying around an ear of corn. It would stop, take a kernel off, hop around to select a good spot, bury the kernel. Then it would get another kernel, and bury it. The squirrel seemed to bury three kernels per ear-drop: It would drop the ear, then bury kernels at the points of a roughly equilateral triangle, roughly 3 feet from the ear. Then it would carry the ear to another spot to bury more kernels.
