    I was watching a squirrel in the yard with an acorn in his mouth, this morning. He finally hopped across the driveway and up on the hill on the other side. He found a spot to bury it. And then he went on down the driveway. As soon as he was gone, a chipmunk ran down the tree, dug it up, and got the acorn and ran back up the tree. The squirrel never had a clue that he lost his treasure!

    Will you watch for the heartbreak on the squirrel's face Capt? He's not going to be happy!

    I bet that little squirrel will find some of the chipmunk's nuts and return the favor a few times. ... ;)
