Squirrels and Moosetrack Memories.

How on earth do the two of those correlate?

Well I got a carton of Moose tracks out of the freezer and brought it over to the counter to eat it. No, eating out of the carton is not a childhood memory, as a child I would never have dared to act with such audacity. The ice cream itself is a childhood memory, it was my dad's favorite (and Heavenly Hash was my mom's :)) so if he bought ice cream that's what it would be. What we kids would do would pick through the ice cream while serving ourselves and try to get all the little peanut butter cups and chocolate sheets into our bowl.

So that's what I was doing, eating ice cream out of the carton (trying to get all the chocolate and peanut butter cups!) and looking out the window. Here's where the squirrel comes in, my mom has a birdfeeder and the squirrel was hanging upside down while eating out of the feeder. (Similar to this)



And the thought occurred to me, how on earth can squirrels eat like that? Apparently their bodies are wired to defy gravity.
