The men people on the Berkshire have actually discussed what to do about the squirrels.

Yesterday I went to retrieve something from my truck and had flashbacks of 'Nam while just trying to get to it.  Acorns were dropping like a B-52 payload!  The branches they gnaw off with acorn clusters and let fall to the ground, have carpet bombed my driveway and entire front lawn! 

We are under Squirrel attack!!

The neighbors bitch about the holes in their freshly laid grass, and another complains about the holes in his decking and porch where the chipmunks are living.

The other neighbor.....well, he feeds them.

He has an old camper parked in the side yard that has not moved in the eleven years we have been here.  He told our new neighbor this summer that he can't move it because the squirrels all live inside.

Oh yeah.

So today I came home and told my husband, where I am totally against a total squirrel annihilation...after all they're just trying to survive...I do think they are a problem.  My front yard looks like a war zone every damn day.  I listen to the acorns come crashing down on the cars and trucks....the deck.  It's just out of control.

I have never seen what the problem is when the men folk gather, but I'm starting to think there may be something to the idea that they are becoming over populated.
