Nervous Squirrels

target-practice.jpgThe squirrels in Athens are getting nervous. Visiting mom today, I set up a styrofoam plate in an Azalea bush and mom and I took target practice about 25 feet away. In the attached photo, shots 1, 2, and 3 are mine. Mom then fired the rest of the shots only missing the plate once! She was holding her arm out straight and also gripping the handle differently.

But here is the amazing thing. There is a cluster of three shots, #4, #6, and #7 that are all together! I was amazed that #4 and #6 were so close and then #7 went right through the middle of those two. I flipped the plate over for shots #8 and #9 (which I mislabeled 7 and 8.) So mom even had the closest shot to the center of the plate.

Now you know why the squirrels are nervous. Oh… and happy birthday Fiona!

Stolen Jeep Evidence

This is a photo of the collection of evidence I gathered from the stolen yellow Jeep. We were happy to get the jeep back, and I guess the crime did not warrant a full investigation. Sherlock Holmes could have figured it out. The only thing not pictured is the baby diaper (not used) and the peanut shells and ashes in the back cargo area. Appeared to be a little tailgating going on.
