Earl the squirrel came by for a handout today..

as he does on most days; will take peanuts from my hand. Or maybe it's Pearl the squirrel.

But today when I left the garage door open, he invited all his friends for a party, and got into the peanuts. Didn't just take some to go, mind you, or have Uber deliver them. Nope, stayed for dine in, ate a bunch of peanuts, and left shells all over the garage floor.

I'm gonna have a talk with him.

Teach him to steal peanuts, and he will feed himself for life.
