Me vs. Squirrels: The Battle Royale

The squirrels used to just be my dog’s nemeses – and I got a huge kick out of watching their skirmishes in the yard. But lately the squirrels decided to take it up a notch. Not content with the corn cobs I was giving them, they decided they need to get into the bird food, too.

Curse you, Squirrels!

Curse you, Squirrels!

One of my neighbors was telling me she came by one day, and there were three squirrels – one inside the container, throwing food out to the other ones. Later that day, one of the squirrels was in the plastic food bag, peeking his head out. Comic, sure. Adorable, yes. But I had to clean up the mess every evening, and the dog barked at the porch all day long.

I had to do something about it!

Big Things Photos – Back up and Running

My “Big Things” photo galleries are back up and running, finally, after some coding goofiness. In going through all the new photos, I realized I have hundreds of new ones to put online; I’m further behind on this project than I thought. But I have much easier ways to get them online, so that’s good.

I’ll point new things as I get them on the site.

Old Northside Neighborhood Photos

Flickr Photoset of Old Northside Neighborhood
Stephanie and I took the dog for a long walk around our gorgeous neighborhood this weekend, and I snapped a bunch for photos (148, to be exact) for my growing collection of pictures of our neighborhood.
We are very lucky to live in one of the most scenic neighborhoods in the city, in a modest house in the middle of some very grand mansions. I’ve been snapping pictures of the neighborhood since we moved in last year; the historic victorian architecture is amazing. Old Northside was one of the prominent neighborhoods in the late 1800s – the state’s prominent businessmen and politicians lived here. It was also the original home of Butler University, and the house in the photo above is the home of Ovid Butler, the founder of the university.
