Attack of the Ninja Squirrel!
Well, something that prompted me to start a sktch (finally). I work at 2 locations, one is a little office, in the older part of a suburb. It is knicknamed "the tree city"-- there are beautiful , very old trees lining all the streets-- pepper trees, sycamores, and it looks a lot like back East. (Queen Anne houses, along with Calirnia bungalow style). But.... there lurks a clandestine menace-- determined to battle technology wherever it may be found--- this hidden technology assasin-- is the ninja squirrel! A family of them live about 6 blocks from the office, and they chew through the data lines, sometimes the phone lines! You got it, the computers are out for 6 hours, sometimes even the phones. But, we still have to continue business as usual--- with old paper forms, and sometimes other manual equipment. All eyes stay on the monitors, waiting for the computer to jump back to life. At lunch yesterday, everyone started making little sketches of the squirrels attacking the cables (they have been shielded,but since when did that ever stop a determined squirrel). Our director howled when I sketched a squirrel with scissors-- I said with some time, I could alter him, and color it-- and put a couple of changes in there. I will post it when finished here.

I wish a good weekend, with blue skies, cool breezes, and beautiful coloured leaves (miss that in California !)
