That flying squirrel must've been looking for his fly. LOL

LOL grace and OP. I wish that squirrel was looking for nuts, would have served him right.

He was a handy man repairing a hole in my attic vent the squirrels had made. I turned out they were flying squirrels. He cornered a young one between the corner of my house and the fence. He thought he was going to trap it in box and take it home to his daughter....he didn't LOL!

Well OG, I wasn't gonna go there! LOL

A squirrel will run up your pantleg even if you're not bothering it or cornering it. I know because one used my leg for a climbing tree when I was about nine. I was standing on my porch watching the squirrel moseying around closer and closer. All of a sudden something else startled it and the darn thing ran to me and right up my pantleg. NOT a comfortable thing, I'll tell you. And I didn't have any nuts for him, either.

Hey, DD, I'm glad someone else saw the beauty that I did in the slug ballet.

Sorry, Gracie, I wasn't going to go there either, but I just couldn't resist.

The worse thing I had go up my pants legs was a bee. And, yes indeedy, it stung me real good.

It was really quite graceful. I wonder if it was done in slow motion or if they are really that slow.

I just searched for 10 minutes to find appropriate place to post this, and this thread is as close as I can find...LOL

I guess this qualifies as one of the strangest things I have seen... this week anyway :-)

The neighbors a few doors down across the street were blowing off some pretty huge explosives on the 4th. The kind where your house shakes and all the car alarms throughout the neighborhood go off.

Well, I was sitting out in my backyard while one of them went off, and right when it went off, I heard a big crash on the next door neighbor's deck. I looked over--- and the shockwave had shattered the thick glass top of their patio table into a million tiny pieces.

They come home from out of state sometime today and this will be an interesting surprise for them.

I had to zoom in a lot to get this photo, so it's not the best quality.

Wow Naja. So do you plan on telling them that you witnessed how it happened? I would think that would be awkward (getting in the middle)....but I think they're entitled to some restitution from the neighbors (if they want).

You bet I am going to tell them how it happened. That would be an awfully strange mystery to live with...LOL

The thing is, I really don't know which neighbor it is. All I could see was a flash of light behind the houses down the street when one would go off, but I couldn't say exactly which house it was. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to find out. Probably everyone who lives on that side of the street knows since you can see into each other's yards. My guess is that it's the house across the street, 2 houses over, since they had the most cars parked at their house for a party.

LOL...it would be.

You know who I really feel sorry for on the 4th is the wildlife. Dh & I were saying that our baby squirrels probably thought that the world was ending. Unfortunately this time we made the mistake of having our windows open and our house filled up with a surprising amt of smoke from whatever our neighbors were playing with.

The town I live in is actually named Independence. Even though fireworks are supposed to be illegal here, the police look the other way. We have some wonderful displays every year just on our block, but those massive explosive things are a totally different story than those pretty ones that sparkle in the sky.

Well, it's actually more serious than we thought.

They just got home about an hour ago and sifted through the glass debris...They found a flattened bullet from either a 38 or 357. It seems someone probably shot it in the air and this is where the bullet landed. What if it had landed on one of us on our deck just feet away? Now I am nervous to even sit outside on the 4th!

Good grief! That's insane. I remember growing up the across the street neighbor was paralyzed by a bullet shot into the air that came back down and hit him in the back ... that is so scary ... glad y'all are safe and that the neighbors weren't home.

It's quite bizarre. Occasionally you'll see a bunch of guys firing guns into the air on the news. Don't they realize that those bullets have to be landing somewhere?

Glad no one was hurt!

No wonder those fireworks were so loud. I hope to hell they reported it to the police.

That sure is scary! I'm glad nobody was hurt.

In a similar story, a man was arrested in Maine for firing a gun on the 4th. He said he was homesick and just wanted to celebrate the way they did where he came from. He is from Indianapolis.

LOL Mak1! Reading that cracked me up.

The neighboors were very quiet this year with the firecrackers. I was thankful for the relatively peace and quiet.

It cracked me up too, Nyheat! Every time a reporter read the story, they put a big pause before and after that last sentence. LOL

I may have told this story before, getting older and hard to remember, about my friend and a slug. We had just grilled out on the deck and all of us were having drinks and talking. All of a sudden my girlfriend screams bloody murder and jumps straight up in the air demanding that I go into the house and get her a wash cloth with soap. It seems that during the drinking and talking she had taken off her sandals and felt something soft under her toes at which time she began to squish her toes around it massaging and rubbing it. She was so involved in the conversation she paid no attention to what it might be that she was massaging until she stopped talking and looked under the table.

OMG I am still laughing about it all these years later.LOLOLO
