Flying Squirrels

Another rain storm just rolled in at noontime. The Island, well and Western WA is inundated with flood water. There are road closures and mud slides. The trail is pretty darn soggy here at Raven Ranch. If you are walking with me in the next few weeks, rubber boots would be the footwear of choice.

As to flying squirrels, haven’t seen any lately but they did cross my mind this morning. You know the Washington Football Team is looking for a new mascot since they dropped “Redskins“. How about the Washington Flying Squirrels? I don’t know if I like that better than the Washington Bureaucrats or maybe the Washington Flying Bureaucrats. Sorry, I’ll try and change the subject now.

Maybe I just procrastinating. We had a death among our friends here on Vashon. A friend, Mike, who lived on our road here and we worked jobs and went on hunting trips together. He went back even further as he was in the same high school class with Rebecca back in Memphis in the 1960’s. That’s way back. So, we are mourning presently.

I think I will take off. You are the best. Hang in there for today. Anon.

flying squirrelly loves, Felipé.

    Sorry to hear about Mike. Old connections run deep, I suppose, and sharing work and leisure is something really special.
    Take care of yourself, my friend – this part ain’t easy, as we know, and it takes time.
    Best wishes and thoughts to you and Rebecca.

    Yes I would imagine Redskins is frowned upon these days but Red Socks is ok!we get gray squirrels and red squirrels here in England.the gray squirrels dominate and are an introduced species from North America.when I was about 20 I’d never seen one before until I went to a college in Birmingham in the English Midlands in 1988/9 and they’re where loads of gray squirrels down there. now they are up in the north of England too.Red squirrels are the native species and so rare that I’ve never actually seen one.Rain and Sun equalling sun showers here although it’s 23:37 now so make that Moon showers!the weather pundits are, hopefully wrongly, predicting a very unusual weather system moving in front Russia and when the cold air from Siberia hits the mild air of the Atlantic it could cause snow .last time this happened was only 3 winters ago and we called the Beast from the East and I got stuck in Scotland for 4 days never known anything like it.

      Kevan ~ wow, I am trying to picture the Beast. It doesn’t sound all that much like fun unless you are a kid or a skier. I don’t know how I got this whole squirrel thing going but it is something to pass the time. Good luck with the Beast. Felipé.
