The above photo was snapped by Mister when his buddy came to town. This shows Jack feeding one of the giant squirrels in Boston Common.

 

Many of the squirrels there have been desensitized to humans. On more than one occasion, I saw a squirrel climb a person’s leg for food. As I don’t feed wild animals (and I’m a total wuss), I never engaged in that sort of activity. In fact, when a squirrel did venture too-close-for-comfort, I generally freaked out. But hey, that’s just me.

 

On a side note, one night Mister and I were walking home through the Common when he commented on a cat in the street’s gutter. He was wondering aloud why that large cat was hanging out near a street drain, so late at night. All of a sudden, Mister pulled my arm and we booked it out of there pretty danged fast. Turned out that wasn’t a cat at all. It was a giant rat.

 

Ah, memories!
