I live in Limestone County, AL, and my wife's FB feed is full of riffs on this squirrel. I was pleased to learn I am not related to the suspect; knowing the extended family, it was quite possible.

What I want to know is why an Alabama wacko is news in NC.

The story went national due to the "What?" factor. Just what we need is more bad publicity.

This is why I have a fat wiener dog, in case the squirrels attack. He once drove a buzzard off of roadkill just to eat it. He aint 'fraid of no squirrel.

Probably should have euthanized this poor squirrel.

I mean, can you imagine the threat this thing could pose? Addicted to meth. Now he's breaking into bird feeders and attics stealing stuff to give to his dealer, just to get him through another day. Then one day...he's trying to get clean and wanders across the street and BAM - turns into roadkill. Another life destroyed by meth.

Just when he was turning his life around...

1) I've been to Mountain City, Tennessee before. I absolutely believe this story.

2) Shoulda put the drop piece on the squirrel. He'd still have a job.

Way back when, about half a million years ago, I went bowhunting with my dad for the first time. We went to his favorite unit, with over the counter tags. Must have been 13 or so. He wanted to hunt, and I was an adolescent who found it hard to sit still. So my dad found a convenient bend in the trail, sat me on alongside, assured me that he was around, and left.

About an hour into sitting still and waiting for the biggest mule deer ever seen to make his entrance, I saw a couple of does (which could not be legally hunted and seemed to know it). They looked at me with great disdain, and trotted down that road with the annoying bounce-away-a-few-turn-and-look-with-scorn posture. And a little tassle eared squirrel took notice of me. It screeched and chattered at me for almost an hour or so and he finally got tired of it and began dropping stuff on me. Pinecones, small branches, that kinda stuff. I finally got so pissed that I launched an handmade hunting arrow at it. My arrow missed and the squirrel scampered away, my arrow imbedded in the trunk of a tall, tall pine, with a florescent orange nock, with red and yellow vanes, vibrating as an accusing finger right to where it had been launched from.

The only trophy photo my dad had of that whole trip was the Goddamned photo of that arrow stuck in the tree, 25 feet out of reach. When that tree dies and falls over and/or burns the only memento will be my arrowhead...

I read my wife the various posts from this thread.

She chattered at me and then squirreled away into a hidey hole (the bathtub).
