Squirrels are uniting, doesn't bode well for Western Washington

Russia's getting more dangerous everyday, they say... but you didn't realize how dangerous until now. Given the large population of these scavengers around here- are we next? It's not a far stretch from a mangy, street-smart dog to a fat little pink baby, and the pack mentality is sure to figure that out soon. Then, with loads of new, animal-derived protein available to the vicious multitudes, competition will run its inevitable course, and other populations will start to adopt the pack mentality. Hordes of swarming raccoons, with their ant-like focus on collective domination and their irascible opposable thumbs, will be unstoppable- cleverly nocturnal and near-invisible in the day. Lock your doors! Bar the windows! Hide the dog food and secure the birdfeeders! The end is nigh!

so, you won't be taking wickett on the Dostoevsky tour right? wouldn't want him to have to fend off a crazed squirrel or badger or something.
