Now, perhaps some of you may remember when I referred to my squirrel incident on different occasions. Well, now is the time to tell the tale. A tale, about a squirrel, and a GreenChief...
June, 2001. It was a nice day. A sunny day. A day where nothing could possibly go wrong!
Or so one would think.
I was heading over to Scott's house. I usually take some mode of transport, but today was too nice. I decided to walk.
Well, I thought it would be a good idea to cut through the park. A Dallas park on a sunny June day is very pleasant.
As I exited the park, I turned left to walk down the sidewalk. I only had to make one turn on the sidewalk. That one turn would change my life.
I turned the corner and kept walking. Now, I could've gone around this building, but my little stroll through the park had made me a little late. So I thought it would be a great idea to go between these two buildings.
Between these buildings were some trees. Oak, I believe, and as I walked through the trees, was when the incident occurred.
A damned squirrel, I'm assuming, was trying to jump from one tree to another, and I had moved in it's way.
This caused a bit of mid-air squirrel/GreenChief contact.
For what I guess about four seconds, there was a damned squirrel running all over me, sqeaking and making little squirrel noises... While I was shrieking like a little girl.
I had no idea what was going on! Then, I saw it jump off me and race up a tree.
I told Scott about my squirrel affair. He still laughs at me.
Well, that's my story about GreenChief and the squirrel. And let this be a lesson to you, don't go between trees while squirrels are about. Or they'll attack you.
