The subway in L.A. is great, too :D

Is it time for bed yet?

SQUIRRELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, sorry, I had to shout.
Yes, they are noisy, and yes, they sound rather duck like.
Though I always thought they were rather like small dog sounds. Like barking.
But really... quack bark, its all the same.
Did you steal its snack?

actually they can screech, bark, quack and occasionally growl....a thing I know first hand.

yeah, squirrels are trippy

Just don't lock a squirrell in a Bear Box.

Squirrels attack, too... At least the East Coast ones do...

So...I just ticked of my mother. She called to see how Nick's first day went. She is in full on paranoia mode about him being bullied. When I made the mistake of telling her he had 2 of the biggest bullies (not size, behavior) in his class she started in with a lecture. After 10 minutes of trying to tell her he would not be better off in private school I told her that since she was in lecture mode I had to go finish dinner.

As far as his day, he likes his teacher, he stayed away from Casey and Hassan and other than that is indifferent and can't remember anything. *sigh*

Chris is in the air and headed to Chicago. I haven't heard how his trip through security was yet.

Was he planning on taking anything liquid or pointy through security?

Edited to add: I guess icicles would be off-limits, huh?

Hopefully no Squirrels on a Plane.
