Ol' Kink Tail

So I saw Ol' Kink Tail (squirrel) today on the way out to work.

I am not sure what exactly happened to Kink Tail. He had a definite kink in his tail last fall, then the end of his tail fell off. I have two theories, either I shot his tail before I went to stun with the bb gun, or a car ran over the tip of his tail (most likely as I found his tail near the gate).

I thought that he died over the winter, but he didn't. Where the kink tail was, he now has a tuft of white hair.

I'll try and get a picture.

GAH! THEY READ!

I know it!

THEY READ THIS BLOG TO TORMENT ME!

My nemesis, struck again today.

They did this last time right after I posted on the blog.

I suppose the garlic attracted them...

blah!

I think I will put some more hot peppers in the soil, that seems to work.

I feel the same way....

Squirrel Armor

So i found this.

they are going to need it.

Tri-post

I planted a new crop of radishes today. I bought pesticides, so that should help the caterpillar problem.

Squirrels scratch their heads like a dog, with their back legs, when they have an acorn in their hands.

Check out this quote, "In the opening minutes of the Gulf War on January 17, 1991, an unarmed USAF EF-111, crewed by Captain James A. Denton and Captain Brent D. Brandon scored a kill against an Iraqi Dassault Mirage F1EQ, which they managed to maneuver into the ground, making it the first and only F-111 to achieve an aerial victory over another aircraft." from wikipedia.

Squirrel attack and Link

Story:

So I was walking to Chaos one morning, and I stopped under a tree waiting to cross the street.

...

Waiting. The light just turned green.

...

Waiting...

Look both ways



"wtf!?"

A squirrel had fallen out of the tree that I was standing under. He hit the concrete about 1ft from me with a sickening sound. Scared the crap out of me. He was ok, cuz he ran away very quickly. I don't think he was expecting it, it sounded like he belly flopped onto the concrete.

I remember it like it was last week.

Hawk vs Squirrel: Rematch

Hawk almost got squirrel one day a few weeks ago. The hawk came down about 20 feet in front of me. People were walking by, and spooked the hawk just as it was trying to get the squirrel. The squirrel got away, and the hawk flew to a nearby tree. It was on a branch about 8 feet high, so I got a goood look at it. It was neat to have been able to see the ineraction.

In other news, I saw pidgeons on my street yesterday. I had not seen them for quite a while.

I got interrupted writing this blog post in a meeting. I have a post coming about the meeting.

Adsense and squirrels

So my ads are about squirrel elimination now. In other news that is the real reason for this post...


DIE IN A FIRE.


I had the urge to share that with the world. The time is 1:22 AM.

OODA loop update

Today, as I was walking to class, I saw a hawk on the top of a electricity pole. I was like, thats pretty cool. On further examination, I noticed a tail. It was a squirrel tail. The hawk was tearing into a squirrel, and looking around with a big grin every once in a while. This was right near where I let Cody (the dog) chase a squirrel.

Cody chased the squirrel in this parking lot. The only cover was a car. In the beginning, it was like the part in snatch where they set the dogs on a rabbit. Cody almost got the squirrel, but the squirrel could turn much faster. He chased it around the car, but the squirrel made it to a tree.

The hawk caught squirrel was not so lucky. The hawk was operating in a different axis, one where the squirrel could not observe, orient, decide, or act very effectively. The hawk was inside of the squirrels OODA loop. The result was squirrel for breakfast.

Cat and Squirrel on Skiles

About a week ago, I saw a cat attempt to get a squirrel in the grass between the student center and skiles walkway. It was interesting to watch, but the cat was too fat, and the squirrel could out turn the cat. It almost proved the fighter mafia's position that instantaneous turn rate was important, as the squirrel can't outrun the cat, but can out turn him. Anyway, the cat failed to get into the squirrels OODA loop.
