Kicking off Squirrel Week 2022 with some squirrels in the news
The squirrel-on-meth story reminded me of something a reader told me early in the history of Squirrel Week: that the squirrels in Lafayette Square were once high on crack.President George H.W. Bush
launched his war on drugs by holding up a baggie of crack he said had been purchased across from the White House.According to the urban legend, D.C.’s squirrels were nibbling on crack crumbs.

Bulling lives across the street from a substation and every morning watches squirrels commuting along the power lines.
Meanwhile, last year in Columbus, Ohio, someone posted a sign claiming to have spotted a “big squirrel” in Clinton-Como Park. How big?A search party was organized — “We will not harm or capture it,” a flier stated. “We just want to get a good look!” — but no trace was found.

A second-grade teacher there told WJXT that her class watched as the squirrel cracked acorns on a branch outside. The event was turned into a teachable moment.
In other school/squirrel news: An armed man was spotted last month near a day-care center in Hamilton County, Tenn. Two nearby schools went on lockdown.on the property next to the day care was shooting at a squirrelLet’s just hope squirrels never get guns. Then a bite on the finger would be the least of our worries.Science has proved that members of this squirrel species have something in common with humans: personalities.
