The current Readers Digest magazine has an article that mentions that about 1
.12 billion squirrels live in the United States at any given time. Iâm not surprised. I think that most of them used to live in the huge oak tree in front of our house.
A bunch of electric and telephone wires ran through the branches of the giant tree, and the always busy little critters could emerge on either side of the tree and run off on a wire to do whatever squirrels do.
I presume that they enjoyed eating the innards of the acorns. Iâm convinced that they also enjoyed dropping the empty shells on the sidewalk and the end of our driveway, especially when I was doing something down below and would get hit on the head.
