squirrel eating french fry

What are you looking at?

Today's moment of whatever: a squirrel eating a french fry on Holland Ave in Albany -- and wondering just what exactly you're looking at. What, you've never seen a squirrel eat a french fry before? Move along.

You haven't lived until you've seen a squirrel eating a slice of pizza. (They are very well-fed in our neighborhood.)

I once sat in Washington Park and watched a squirrel carry a soup can up a tree. He got it up to a branch, dropped it, went back, carried it up again, dropped it, went right back down, carried it back up, found a better branch to balance it, and proceeded to eat whatever the heck was in it. I had to give the little fellow a lot of credit for his persistence.

It's a colossal social failure that starts with the breakdown of families and then circles back around to more breakdown of families. I've lived next to drop-outs, and I've seen firsthand the lack of parenting that sends the signal, passed from generation to generation. No magical teacher or administrator is going to reach down and counter that effect.
