I expect if I were looking to holing up in a hollow tree trunk and
sleeping for 5 months with all the nuts I could hoard I would be a
bit skittish too.

Ah yes. In our yard, it's a race to grab the walnuts before the
squirrels do(or avoid getting hit with the shells as the fuzzy creatures
chew furiously above our heads). There is a squirrel highway from the
huge walnut tree in our backyard, hop to the pear tree, then to the
roof, to the power lines in front of our house and away, away, away! If
you see a squirrel with a fat mouth stuffed with a walnut, he's probably
been to our house for his supply of winter nuts(the key word here).

If they spent more time making more squirrels, they wouldn't have time to be road hazards.

OK. Who's next with this rapid descent into tastelessness?

You could ask the bird that flew into my front wheel last spring, but
I couldn't find him for comments amid all the feathers.

I always make sure to ride my wind trainer with Modern Aero style wheels.

That way when my wife needs me to chop veggies for dinner, she only has to
toss them at the rear wheel while I do a short sprint interval.

Marriage is team work boys find a way to make it work for you. ;)

I have, on more than one occasion, had rabbits and squirrels attempt to jump
through Spynergy 'Veg-a-matic' (i.e. Rev-X) wheels. One actually made it unscathed. Others, somehow timed the leap and ended up bouncing off the
spoke and scurrying away (hopefully) unscathed.

I guess that suggestion could lead to the conclusion that disk wheels

This time of year, squirrels seem especially active, running skittishly
all over the place, unpredictable. Sometimes resulting in seriously
squashed squirrels as common litter on the road. Why do they celebrate
Fall in this manner?

That depends on how fast the squirrel was going...

Just to change the subject from TUFO sealant....I have to pose the question
whether the squirrel would have suffered the same fate had it encountered a
