Where Was My Camera

[Alan Reagan]

This afternoon, my daughter yells for me to come quick. I run in and she point to the street where a squirrel has stolen one of my neighbors flags and is heading to a tree. The neighbor is a a real SOB and he has these flags stuck in various places around the yard. They are dirty from flapping on the ground and the whole flag thing is disgusting because I'm in the military and hate to see the flag abused this way.



Anyway, the squirrel takes the flag up the tree to a big knot hole and then tries to take it inside but the wooden dowel it's mounted on is sideways and won't go through the hole. Now, the loose end of the flag is pulled inside the hole and the dowel is tight against the tree. All I can see is the stars. I guess he'll sleep warm tonight with his new blanket/door system.



As for the neighbor, I guess he'll accuse me of removing his flags. At least now I know where they are going when they disappear.

I wish I had one today to. I could have taken a photograph evidence of human stupidity.

Well, the flag still hasn't gone throught the hole because of the dowel. I check on the squirrel in the afternoons and when he's in the hole, he's tugging like crazy. From what I can see, the flag is pretty chewed up. Poor guy. And I hate squirrels.

If you went afraid of the repercussions you could go pull up all his flags in the middle of the night, or when the grass is green write idiot in big letter in his yard with rock salt. Your nice, I would make it a point to ask him exactly what everything on that flag represents... ..... I sure he doesn't know.

I'm not quite sure what started his flag binge. He started about a year ago. I thought he was marking flowers with them at first. They just kept multiplying. I told him in a nice way that he was desicrating the flag, by allowing them to flap on the ground. He told me to mind my own business.



Three months ago, while he was out of town, I noticed a squirrel on top of his house and thought to myself "looks like the squirrel is about to find a new home".



That afternoon, I noticed the hole in the facial board and being the good neighbor that I am, I minded my own business. Since then, the jerk has been patching holes and the squirrel has been having to make new escape routes. We live in the country, but obviously, the guy doesn't understand the meaning of deadly force.

one day I was driving down a local back road. Its 100 deg out on a sunny summer day. I see this cow backed into a little spring house, looking out the door. All her buddys are hanging around the outside of the spring house looking in at her.



Another day I saw a wild turkey standing on the railing of my neighbors deck eating out of the bird feeder.



I need a cheep camera to throw in the truck!

I keep a disposable camera in the glovebox for just such occasions.
