At a friend of mine's bar they leave peanuts out for the squirrels. They will walk up and take them from your hand at times. They walk up every afternoon looking to see if anyone left them out.Saw a squirrel this evening in the Mall of America parking ramp. Fully urbanized and butt diving in the cigarette receptacle.

I consider myself to be a Boston fan but you're right about that. My favorite thing about Boston might be that they delayed the release of their third album because they wanted the the flying guitar on the cover to be drawn so that, conceivably, it could actually fly.
I can saefly say that I had never heard of goat rental until I read this post.@BoxsterCy you might have enjoyed what we've been doing for the past few hours. We had a forester out here and we were traipsing through the woods talking about what management we can do to improve tree growth and better manage the populations. One part is Basswood & shagbark hickory and a couple of white oak; one part is black maple, ash, elm, a grove of Kentucky coffee trees & a few shagbark; and the far side of the creek (a south facing slope) has a couple of white oak and shagbarks. There's a couple of trees out there that he estimates to be around 80-90 years old.
We have a lot of invasive mustard & honeysuckle, and a bunch of young maples...the older trees are, well, getting old, and the younger trees can't fight past the canopy. He's helping us write up a management plan and an environmental grant to see if we can establish an oak savannah on that south-facing slope, plus do some strategic cutting, goat rental, and controlled burn to improve our woodland acres.
Especially the fainting goatsI can saefly say that I had never heard of goat rental until I read this post.
As an FYI. There's some super-cute goat gifs out there.

Never knew what a Frankenstein craft this was. One of the pilots was also previously an astronaut. Very cool episode.
Watched a Nat Geo special on the Super Guppy the other night which you would have liked. Didn't know one was still being flown by NASA. Learned you do not bank that old bird very much.
She's right. But I know this person that has an extra cat or two....Ran out of grape jelly a couple days ago, and didn't get any bought until yesterday. Now the orioles are gone.....and the vixen is not happy with me.
Also, there was a little mouse scurrying around the deck, picking up sunflower seed shells and dropping them. The vixen hates mice, and is convinced he will be in the house soon. I said, "The only way he gets in here is if one of us lets him in." I don't think she believes me.
Our son went to some school in Wisconsin and learned to fly something that looks like a bastardized cross between an ultralight and a swingset...it has wings and an engine. And that's about it. Scares the crap outta me, but he loves it.
Google "baby goats in pajamas". Freakin' adorable!I can saefly say that I had never heard of goat rental until I read this post.
