@american virus -- he does bare a resemblance.

@Jac -- this is the first time a squirrel has leaped up my leg and into my pocket yes. startling to say the least!

@dwdmguy -- they were good nuts and there were smarties in the mix, so i guess not.

@synchronizer -- no cropping. i was less than 2 ft away. CLOSE. like stupidly close.
