In Response To: Damn nibblers (Elena)
This reminded me, when I used to ride my motorcycle through the canyons (back when I was much more reckless on my bike than I am now) we used to call the young kids riding these big sport bikes (750ccc & up: affectionately called crotch rockets) wearing practically nothing, and often flip flops on their feet, "Squids." That was, a cross between a squirrel and a kid. A squirrel, as you know, will play suicide with the road, (run out, run back, run out, run back) and a kid, well, you just can't tell a kid anything.
If I can just keep the squirrels off the wild bird feeders, by puttng some black oil seed on the ground for them, I'm usually happy.
Love,
Bets
