We have a family of squirrels that live in our neighborhood. They've been here for years. I watch them out the window in the morning when I have coffee. Have not done any damage… yet.
Yesterday I watched one in the yard with a jar of peanut butter. The squirrel had gnawed off the lid and was trying to get it's head in there to eat what remained.

Was worried he would get his head stuck so I went out there and it ran away and I got the jar and threw it away.

They bring various things in my yard: oranges 🍊 peanuts 🥜 avocados 🥑 etc. Every so often they drop an avocado on the roof and it makes a loud boom and then rolls off.

I've had my roof and property sealed up pretty well so nothing is going to get in (I hope). No squirrels in the attic, yet. lol

You know what really fucks me up? When I go in for service and get a loaner. The shifter on my car is like a manual. Reverse is to the left and up, neutral in the middle and drive to the right. So of course, I throw the shifter in the loaner to the left and up to try to back out of the spot on dealers lot. Always comical.

That is messed up. I don't like the notion of how your shifter is like a manual. Either be an actual manual tranny or automatic. Not both!

At least the current generation has park on the shifter. My ‘16 and ‘19 you had to put it in neutral and engage the parking brake. The very rare times I had to valet or go to a parking garage I needed to draw fucking diagrams. I was at the hand car wash with a Bentley in front of me. The kid didn’t engage the parking brake and I went running to stop my ride from rolling into it. Would have been an expensive day for the carwash.

Yeah, true. I remember the first time I drove an Audi loaner that also integrated the Park function as a button in the gear shifter. It threw me off big time and I was embarrassed because for a brief moment I didn't know how to park the fucking car.

I confess I'm pretty much at my end limit with the government interference in my life over COVID. Bunch of useless twats that talk out of both sides of their mouth and then institute requirements that are illogical. The very latest I found out...did you know, that if you are a close contact of a confirmed case and any members of your house who are 17 or younger are not vaccinated, that those members have to isolate for the 10 days regardless of symptoms? BUT...and here's the interesting part...this fricking clever virus KNOWS your age, because if you are 18 or older and unvaccinated in the same house, you can just go about your merry way and no need to isolate. Because you are 18, and not 17, so the virus definitely won't get you.

But the last straw for me is going to be more lockdowns / school closures / or them requiring a vaccine passport to attend church.

Did you know Quebec is now mandating a vaccine passport to attend church? If that comes to Ontario I hope every single church here stands up and collectively says "NO". That's a pipe dream and won't happen, but I think a large number will stand up to this overly authoritarian government. They need to be put in their place.

I've been seeing these in the gym for a while now. Not so bad (in the yoga pant variation) on the right person. These, however; just make that thing look like it's hungry. Keep your hands in your pockets boys! No one need to lose a finger here. Not you No one

Well I'm still not sure, but it might work on the RIGHT PERSON as you stated. We all know that there are many people that do not fall into the "right person" category yet they flaunt their shit anyway which can make one lose an appetite. Typical shoppers at a local Walmart comes to mind.

Our country is so very stupid at times. So frustrating.
It really seems like the majority will just take it and do nothing.

If you don't secede the first time, you can always try again. Another "see what I did there?" moment.

But otherwise, yeah, Florida is pretty good. Actually, minus alligators / crocodiles. I've developed a fear of them over the past few months from watching YouTube videos on them.

I wish they would. But only if that means they are completely cut off. Cold turkey. Find your own currency, form your own government, fund everything without relying on payments from other provinces and the Feds CONTINUALLY awarding contracts to Quebec...yeah, I'd be ok with that.

But A+ on the response!
