Squirrel on the Fence

On Sunday, January 10, I wrote:

“We have good neighbors and friends. They live a block or so away, and are extremely helpful and good people. So it’s with a bit of concern that I write these thoughts, but some things need to get out! I have kept their names out of this so that no criminal intent can be blamed on me.They were redoing their kitchen several years ago and were getting rid of their old refrigerator. They were paying the delivery company $40 to take it away. When we found out, we had it taken to our house for the same $40 (we did pay it) and it lives in my garage as the garage frig. I know it eats up some electricity, but it gives us great frig storage”……

They had a concern over their electricity use.

“So, the now their frig is gone and he tells us last night that in his garage he has three or four barrels, filled with straw, and in these barrels he keeps vegetables”!

“She bought a giant size bag of carrots! She keeps them in the garage. He doesn’t eat carrots! She will turn orange trying to eat the carrots by herself!”“I want to turn these people in the logic police but I can’t find their number”.

So on Sunday, when they came home from being away, their dog was barking through the back window at a squirrel. When she went to see what was wrong, she discovered a squirrel was trying to eat his way through the bag with their bread in it! The bread was next to their meat pies!

Why were these things sitting on the fence in the back yard? For what reason were they sitting there?

The answer is one lost on me but easily explained by them.

You see, when he came home from the market on Saturday with bread and meat pies, they were fresh. He wanted to freeze these fresh items because of (I guess) some death wish, but any way he wanted to freeze them in case there was a famine he would have bread and meat pies!

To put them in a freezer when they were room temperature would cause them to use electricity better used sparingly, so he put them out on the back yard fence to freeze, and left them there forgetting about the wild animals who inhabit his yard and do not pay electricity bills!

What great logic! The logic police number is somewhere…………
