so true. I really was going to post a link to the md andersen children's art project (http://www.childrensartproject.org/), but an apron with hearts on it really doesn't have the same effect.
It's not that I hate the pink ribbon, I just hate being bombarded with volunteers at MDA who want to give me pink ribbons AND CANDY. For heaven't sake. Why would anyone even partially sighted offer ME candy? It's just cruel.
Well, I made it back from Amsterdam and I'm trying to catch up on all the news. You'll be glad to know that the Feds held me in an interrogation room at the airport. After watching me work SUDOKU puzzles for an hour, I'm sure they decided that no one so nerdy could be a terrorist and let me go. The unmarked vans outside the house do bother me, though. Rob M.
“He thought I was stealing his chips when he was stealing my chips!” That’s how four-year-old Hayley Allard described what happened Thursday when a squirrel attacked her in Mountain View’s Cuesta Park.
“He was getting my Sun Chips. I reached over to get them and he jumped right in my face and started scratching it,” the girl said.
“It was frightening,” said her mother, Debbie Allard. “It was a very scary thing to have happened. It was traumatizing.”
Squirrels in Cuesta Park have attacked at least 20 people since last spring. Hayley had to get a tetanus shot. Her doctor decided she didn’t need one for rabies. There are signs in the children’s play area warning about aggressive squirrels and prohibiting food, but the Allard family doesn’t feel that’s practical.
“You can put up signs and you can tell people not to have things, but when you have more than one person, like if you have two small children, it’s really hard to do a full body search on everybody to make sure there’s no food,” said Dave Allard, Hayley’s father.
Full body searches to protect us from squirrels! Good thing you have a dog.
