9. Where do YOU live that you haven't seen a squirrel?
Squirrels are everywhere.

Squirrels are in the woods.

Squirrels are in the parks.

Squirrels are in the backyards.

Squirrels are in the projects.

Squirrels are in the prison yards.

There's a squirrel at my window stealing from the bird feeder.

There are no squirrels on the Moon, as far as we know.

(There's no snake in my window, though. Whew!)

5. Last summer,
Walking into the woods, I saw a rattlesnake. He looked dead. When I came back he was gone. Was I stupid to walk over him?

12. Copperhead!?
Had some experience with them in Florida.

The only snake with a worse temperment is a cottonmouth.
