Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 30, 2020

He doesn’t know it, but the squirrel is dabbling in cryptocurrency.

That squirrel is doing something amazon.

Maybe alibaba.

That is just the Fall and some of the Winter occupations. Spring… they sell saplings! (Grin!)

I don’t understand it either: I’ve found the same thing online with incredibly different prices, with or without no-added-cost shipping, delivery times varying from same day to more than 90 days… It’s a mish-mash of a hodge-podge out there.

BUT

I don’t have to understand it. I just work up a spread-sheet of url, price, quantity, shipping and a little calculation of price / count, and sort it. Easy peasy.

You’ll find all the nuts on social media.

Now there’s a URL that’s NSFW.

Is there a link to Boltstore.com?

Nutsquirrel.com opened a branch office.

Wiley does great detail. Love the acorn on the back of the laptop

I don’t know, the company looks a bit squirrelly to me.

What do the WileyBears order?

You mean that little con guy has been hoarding all those nuts I been putting out, just to start his own franchise?

I still find it hard to believe that there is such a thing as “YouTube Celebrity”. Even harder to believe is that I follow a couple of them.

My brother liked to squirrel hunt. He said he enjoyed the reaction when he shot their little nuts.

It’s because sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don’t.

The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel!

Quit trying Bob. It’ll drive you nuts.

I get a kick out of all the “squirrels are smart” tropes. I put out some peanuts for them and the blue jays. To give the jays first crack, I spread them on my deck table, which has a glass top. The squirrel spent a considerable amount of time trying to get them from beneath, before he realized he could hop on top from the deck rail. Then he buried them in our planters.

That’s nuts. (Surprising how often that response seems to fit in with the comics and real life).

Feeding peanuts to squirrels while bluejays are watching is a waste of time. Once the squirrels have eaten their fill, they begin to bury and store the peanuts for “later.” The bluejays, who watched from afar, then dig up the buried peanuts and move them elsewhere, where the squirrels won’t find them. It’s quite a game they play, and watching them can keep one amused for several hours. I guess sll the animals get to eat, but it can drive the peanut-purchaser broke in a matter of a few days. Still, it’s fun to watch as long as you ain’t the one paying or the peanuts.

There’s an old New Yorker cartoon that shows two dogs using a computer, with the caption “On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog”.

Is the squirrel buying or selling?

The sign indicates he’s operating a branch office a few blocks from headquarters at 1600.

We patronise an online store called Nuts.com. Good place for nuts.

Okay, I think I will put up a sigh like that just to mess with people. For a little while.

I just checked it out. It’s a direct link to the WH. And they’re loaded!

The squirrel isn’t wearing a mask.

It’s squirelly but it works. Why save those nuts when you can sell them online for money, which you can use to buy nuts when there are no nuts…wait a minute.

There are similar websites that mean something COMPLETELY different.

So is that a business that buys and/or sells nuts, or one that provides storage facilities for your nuts? I could see a squirrel being interested either way.

“Nutstore”?

How do you tear a nut?

Would love to see here something about spotted laternflys on trees and sidewalks. If you don’t know them, consider yourself lucky as of yet. (“Coming to your neighborhood, soon!”)

That was a Wall Street Squirrel who had dozens of “Gig Worker” squirrels working to fill the orders while he raked in the Profits.

I hate it when my nuts tear, too.
