Two squirrels were playing in my front yard. It looked like they were having fun chasing each other, running very fast then in a blink, changing directions. At one moment one of them flung himself onto a tree. He seemed to stick there as if he and the tree were made of Velcro. How amazing are these little knees that can twist and stop and suddenly change directions. Little engineering marvels.
Never have I seen an elderly squirrel using a cane or walker. Their little systems must be designed to survive life in the fast lane. As long as they don’t try to cross the lane, they do fine.
Maybe those designing
today’s robotics should take a look at squirrel technology.

We enjoy watching the squirrels across the street in our neighbor's yard. He has a little feeding station set up and we have seen about 6 or 7 squirrels at one time. The blue jays wait until it is safe before they hit the bird feeder or ground area. They are amazing and fun little critters.
