It’s the Squirrel Fever.
I’ve seen these outbreaks before.
They go after old people.
They’re attracted to the bright flashes from walkers.
They need to put mud on themselves and their walkers.
Like Schwarzenegger in Predator.
Rub mud all over yourself and then wait in ambush for that evil squirrel.
Then you whack them with your cane.
Cane-Whacked Squirrel is a delicacy in some parts of this country.
Watch out for their buddies the possums.
A possum is like a ninja.
You don’t even see him and bam, he drops on you with that numbchuck tail.
One of the guys on a local talk radio car show was talking recently about a recipe book he was working on that used road kill. Pretty funny. Guess cane kill would work just as well for the protein part. Doubt if old granny could slay an armadillo with her cane though and we have a lot of those.
