> Well, down here at EC, we're famous for our squirrels. This is bloody "Big Squirrel Country." We have squirrels bigger than I am (like that's an accomplishment). And they're so bizzarre! They are completely unafraid of humans - they don't runa away unless you make a whole bunch of noise (or threaten them, of course... but why do that?)...

My school has some pretty tame squrrels, but they aren't big or anything. Yesterday I got to see a baby one - only about 7 inches long, tail included. And not at all tame!

I just have to say one other thing - My school's initials are EC (Earlham College) and every time I read EC in one of your posts, I have to do a double take. :)
