Golden Gate Park - Beware of Squirrels

It's very hard to summarize in any way that would not be tragically lengthy all there is to see in GGPark when you're walking through all the nooks and crannies so I'll spare your retina.

There is one thing I want to share here.

I dislike squirrels. I always have. I think they are hostile creatures with vindictive motives. Are they scavenging for a nut or burying a land mine? Are they sitting there frozen when I walk by because they are scared or because they are contemplating if it would be worth the effort to gouge my eyes out and eat my face off.


Not long ago there was a feature on Sunday Morning a program that airs on CBS - um, on Sunday mornings. Great program, honestly. The point being they spoke of how in London they have the red squirrel. And here in the states we have the grey squirrel. Well, the grey squirrel are for lack of a better term, bastards. They move in, destroy everything and take over. And in recent history they were introduced to London. Now it is so bad that there is a group that goes out and military style devises tactics to round up and destroy the American Grey Squirrel as the Red Squirrel is being driven from its natural habitat.


This to me just proves my point. The grey squirrel I see every where I roam are no good. They are fooling us into believing they are harmless forest dwelling creatures that sadly are being forced into more urban areas where they are subjected to things like getting run over by cars. All the while they are increasing their numbers and when their population is big enough to overwhelm us they will take over and rule the world.

I know you think all of the above seems like the ranting of someone who has lost their mind; But I hope I don't need to say any more but display the pictures I took from my walk in the park today. These frail old ladies were being maliciously stalked and harassed for what? for walking? minding their own business?...or for being a part of the weaker sect of the human race and the squirrels master plans. What's next our children?

They are bastards.

I do fully realize this belongs in the Rant and Rave section of Craigslist. So I do thank you for putting up with it.
