The Gray Menace: A Public Service Announcement






I was locked in a project office in Anchorage for the last two days and have nothing to post, so I am going to visit the way-back machine and post on the Gray Menace.

Dictionary.Com defines "menace" as follows:
Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This
men·ace /ˈmɛnɪs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[men-is] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -aced, -ac·ing.
–noun
1. something that threatens to cause evil, harm, injury, etc.; a threat: Air pollution is a menace to health.

Squirrels fit that description to a "T". Especially in Fall. They crouch on the side of the road or path, and then when you are too close, they dart across the path and nearly run under your front wheel. I have almost hit several of them, and seen several other close misses. If you think I am kidding, check the photos. These are dangerous and need to be stopped.

Be careful around squirrels. Do not trust them - they communcate and breed vigorously. Do not tust them.
