taking the el train
on a walk recently, we saw this little guy racing along the power lines high overhead. i stopped to watch as he went along one line, got off onto a pole, transferred to a perpendicular line, got off at the next pole and crossed the street on an adjoining line.
it was about that time that my wife started yelling at me from the next block over that i was taking too long and to hurry up, it's cold out.

@modest & jill: (love the flickr name, btw...very cool) yeah, he slipped once, too...nearly gave me a heart attack (well, as near to one as you can get for a squirrel that you've only known for a matter of seconds). and thanks for the fave =]
