I love squirrels. Our little squirrel colony was quite upset the other day when the big oak fell. They gathered around investigating it, perhaps even mourned it.

So anyway, I just saw this photo on the New York Times. David Pogue, the journalist, posted it on Twitpic and asked for captions. Here are a few.  Check out the entire article here on Pogue’s Posts:
