Squirrels #5 - Government Facility
It would be easy to write DH's antagonism to squirrels off as a vibrant imagination (he is, after all, a writer) if it weren't for the confirmation by outside sources -- like coworkers.
DH spent several years as a contractor at one of the government facilities out here. He and his coworkers used to walk across the campus for lunch on a regular basis. This route took them through an outside picnic area - with trees. Where acorns regularly beaned him. And we always thought he wore that hat to keep the sun off his head!
After a week of this, one of the guys asked DH, "Why do acorns keep hitting you and only you on the head?" DH just pointed up. There they were -- three of the little rat-finks, looking down at them. While his friend watched, one of them hauled off and threw an acorn - directly at DH's head. "Dude, they really do hate you!" said his friend. And reported to me at the first opportunity. This was probably the first time I really started to believe him.
