I was awoken out of my bed today at the crack of ten by the sound of incisors on window screen. This isn't, of course, the first time the squirrels have chewed through the screens, but this is the first time I've caught one in the act. This one was trying to get into the living room. (First the kitchen, then the bedroom, now the living room. I'm a little alarmed at how methodically they're approaching this whole thing.) I sort of crept toward it while it was hard at work. I don't know what I was going to do once I got over there--I had half a mind to go for my whip--but it poked its head through the screen, saw me, and went back down the wall.

What freaks me out is just how hard the thing was working on that screen. If they'd sort of casually chew their way in and look around, that would be one thing. But these are squirrels on a mission. I have no idea how to deal with a squirrel with that kind of work ethic.

So I have some vacation time coming up at the end of the month. I'm having trouble deciding where to go. I put it to you.

I was witness to a squirrel invasion, but that was over fresh brownies, so I can almost understand.

I never did like the squirrels up there. They're vicious little things.

From the "Crime Watch" section of our apartment complex's newsletter:

* A squirrel broke into a resident's apartment and smeared a chocolate
cupcake around the dining room.

I've never seen squirrels with such initiative. I figured the ground floor apartments are easy pickings for them, especially if they can just lounge around on a garbage can lid while they chew their way inside. This top floor stuff is a whole 'nother level, if you will.

It's really weird. It's like they're making an organized effort to infiltrate the buildings.

Maybe you shouldn't go on vacation, cos you'll get back and find the squirrels have taken over and had a really wild party in your house while you were gone... fucked in your bed, ate all your food, played your stereo too loud, the cops were called, etc...

I've got them beat. Little do they know, I maintain a strict policy of never keeping food in the house.
