I never thought I'd be able to catch a squirrel mid-itch, but here it is. Let's face it, most mammals get fleas. It has to do with how they nest or dwell or whatnot and how it coincides with flea development and the fact that mammals are good places for fleas to live. Of course, that relationship has visited some pretty heavy plagues upon humankind. It just so happens that there was a squirrel in Oakland that tested positive for bubonic plague last year. But it's the fleas' fault! And it might have something to do with Oakland, too. Anyhow, I'm sure this guy doesn't have the plague. He's just itchy.

Easily your best tree rodent picture by far. Summon the Pulitzer Prize Committee.
I second the Pulitzer nomination ... if the committee gives extra credit for photography coupled with brilliant narration.
Meanwhile there is a dire need for updates on the McGuire Bldg. and the status of the Viaduct destruction as it comes to Belltown. Surely it's... hideous.
Now this is just the kind of on-the-spot Johnny-on-the-go gumshoe reporting that the burg has been waiting for! Do squirrels yawn? Scratch their heads? Expectations are running high and furious.
hello is a nice and entertaining blog
