this is BIG NEWS!!!

it scares the hell out of me.
it should frighten you, too.
it's the beginning of squirrel awareness week
in elmhurst, illinois.
locals get all dressed up for this week.

for more information, check here.

let me know how it goes.

sadly, even this event is not without controversy.

some folks say the event runs the entire month

[they need to get a life, i suspect],

while some embrace that it actually begins october 7.

a mind as great as dave barry says it begins today;

who am i to argue with such authority?

i just ask that you all be careful.

remember what a single raccoon can do.
