The SLA is going nuke

Smithsonian magazine detailed in August the exhaustive measures

that military officials have taken to finally block relentless

Richardson's ground squirrels from tunneling underneath

Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana and interfering with the

Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles on 24/7 standby.

For example, officials had to use trial-and-error to plant

underground screens deeper into the ground than the squirrels cared

to dig.  

 

A day after that report was published, a bus driver in

Gothenburg, Sweden, crashed into a tree (with six passengers

requiring hospital treatment) after swerving to avoid a squirrel in

the road.  

 

On the same day, a New York Times reporter disclosed

that his own news monitoring for 2013 revealed that squirrels have

caused 50 power outages in the U.S., in 24 states so far this year

after invading electric company substations.

My wife ran over a beautiful black squirrel about a mile up the road from our house two weeks ago.  She cried.  I think it's funny, she tries to miss various rodents on the road and ends up hitting them.  I stop for dogs and cats if they are in the road but pretty much ignore rodents, almost never hit any.
