January 21: SQUIRREL APPRECIATION DAY!
Yes, it's the most precious day of the year where we celebrate the world's cutest rodents!
I'm not asking anyone to skip work or school, but at the very least, please put out some sustenance for our bushy-tailed friends, especially if you live somewhere with snow on the ground. Food and water can be harder to find at this time of year, so helping out can be a simple way of saying "thank you for just being you".
If you live near Grand Ledge, MI, Rookery Bay, FL, Greenville, SC, or Bangor, ME, please check your local listings regarding planned activities for this special day!
As we admire the dexterity, the persistence, the vivacity, the grace, and the deep-thinking intellectualism of squirrels, please do not let anyone dismiss them as an "invasive species", a term much more befitting academia and our elected "officials".
Let's get out there and appreciate! Have fun!
