A campus I used to know was swarming with squirrels. All that lacked for their successful takeover was more effective leadership in the Rodent Revolution. They tended to be self-centered and capricious, not prone to following orders. That’s probably what saved the humans there.
Take these two, for example. Apparently, the weather is really bad, and Squirrel no. 1 suggests appropriate squall gear. But Squirrel no. 2 is more eager to eat and has a succulent UPS driver in his sights. No. 2 does not consider how difficult the squall will make getting to the UPS meal-on-wheels. Once again, their pea-sized brains thwart the Revolution!
And that’s why Mankind should be kind to squirrels.*

Noooo, squirrels can’t talk. That’s absurd.
(If they find out you’re listening, you have to pack up and move to a new reality!)

Squirrels are well fed and in excellent physical condition. Discipline still a problem.

Do UPS drivers often carry food, or is this squirrel proposing anthropophagy?

Could be ambush and cutthroat sabotage so only they can be the talkers.

Never trust a squirrel.
Bunnies are far more reliable.

I’m sorry, the one on the right looks like a chipmunk in disguise.

“Squall Parkas” would be a good name for a song by UPS Colts & the Unransomed (the house band at the Dirt Dauber).

I saw an albino squirrel recently. I hope the other squirrels aren’t laughing at him/her.

Yesterday evening I posted a picture of a squirrel in my photostream – the latest post.

Is this a vision of some dystopian future, where the only lifeforms still surviving on the surface are cockroaches, squirrels, and UPS drivers?
