The day was spent with friends and family at Atherton in the Rice Lounge. Later the room that houses the pool tables was almost destroyed playing "SCUM". Too complicated to describe and every one had a good time.
We have a new squirrel. I suggested we call her Simonella, in memory of Simon, who disappeared a few months ago. Andrea suggested we call her Sally.
Sally is a girl. In fact, I suspect she is a nursing mom with a family somewhere nearby. She certainly eats enough for a family! She is braver than Simon, and stays close even when we walk outside. She is also noisier. She chatters at us, at the other squirrel who tries to get a bite now and then, and at the birds. Apparently squirrels don't share with birds, even when there's enough for all.
