A Squirrel Jumped on Me While I was Looking at Houses...

By
Industry Observer

I was out previewing property a couple days ago.

I was walking the perimeter of the house while talking on my cell.

As I walked under a tree with some bird feeders on it, I felt something hit my hip and I heard a sqeak. I thought it was a chunk of bird food that fell until I saw a squirrel running off. 

I've drawn a very extensive picture for your benefit to depict the situation.

Lindsay,

What a funny story, I bet it startled the heck out of you.  Nature has its ways doesn't it? Wishing you a delightfully successful week ahead. A

Lindsay... glad to know that you have befriended nature's creatures. Maybe they we upset you were ignoring them by talking on the cell phone.

Is this the start of a new horror film, The Attack of the Wild Squirrel. I guess this is why they call them varmints. cheers cvc

The closest we can come to that one is a few years back.  We were sitting at Starbucks on the patio in the afternoon visiting with friends when a Grackle came swooping in and hit Jeanne in the head.  Then when he made it to the ground he hopped along pecking at his reflection in the plate glass window.  In hindsight it's pretty funny but at the time it was a little unnerving..... at least for Jeanne.

Love your illustration! Glad the squirrel didn't bite you. We run into the little rodents on a conisistent basis while inspecting homes.
