Squirrel Thoughts

What is on the Squirrel's mind these days?

If the approach of our winter
means the northern hemisphere is tipping away from the sun,
and that means the rays have to travel
through more atmosphere before hitting the ground,
and more atmosphere means brighter colors at sunrise and sunset,
wouldn't the most spectacular sky color
be found during December and January,
the closer to the Arctic Circle the better?
(North of the Artic Circle would be dark all of the time,
but the Aurora Borealis should make up for the sunset/sunrise color loss.)
Keep your eyes on the skies....

He wonders if the rumor about
dropping the comma in front of and in American lists is true.
If so, who gave the OK?
And how did they get that power?

He also agrees with the kindergartener
who told him that plastic army guys look better
after you play with them in dirt.

The Squirrel wants you to know
that he handles all academic and aesthetic questions;
social questions are now referred to his new neighbor,
the Inner Duck.

The Inner Duck wishes Katrina a happy birthday,
and Denny a happy belated birthday.
Much love to both.
