When one gets old, I have decided that it is best to celebrate one's birthday the day before, rather than the day of.
On an unrelated note: Last weekend while backpacking in the rain and mosquitoes, I took pleasure in watching a red squirrel make a feast out of a fresh rabbit corpse (it was recently killed by a lynx and still had some choice parts remaining). Anyway, this squirrel was an excited little greedy bastard. During my observations, I watched him run off to his nest with an entire rear leg bone then quickly return to strip the remaining meat off of the neck muscles. He didnt care that I was merely six feet from him, as he continued to frantically munch away, further soiling his grubby hands and face with fresh blood (visualize a squirrel on haunches clawing and chewing into a rabbit). Upon becoming worried that I was getting to close to his feast, he grabs a part of the large intestine (full), runs a few feet, frantically stuffs as much as he can into his bloody mouth, and runs up to his nest. I started laughing obviously this guy hit a gold mine and was excited. I could see it in his eyes peering over his bloody snout.
Anyway, the whole point of this aside is that squirrels are nasty little bastards that will eat just about anything including shit filled rabbit guts (I thought that they were just into seeds and nuts).
On a sad note, the rabbit was carrying two unborn fetuses. They were about 80% developed. For some reason, no animal would eat them, although they seemed like choice meat all dense in nutrients. Even the fucking squirrel preferred warm rabbit shit to fresh fetus. Damn. I guess I can't blame him.
