HA! Mike - good squirrel story - the salt in the britches, I can relate to.

Reminds me of the two old hound dogs sett'n on rockers at the old dog's home. The young puppies running around out front were playing with all sorts of colourful balls and toys. One old dog said to the other, "Why, when I was their age, all I had to play with, was an old stinking cat's head".
