I am dead serious when I state the following --
Greenfield, MA (where I work) has a population of "Calabrian" squirrels.
Parked in the lot behind the restaurant one day and walked across the street to the back door...directly in front of me ran a black squirrel, who then shot up the closest tree and chattered away at my dumbass...who just stood there looking like "WTF???" 😮 😮 😜

@InUnfunky my best squirrel story's just about a dumb ol gray squirrel, but I was walking thru the Boston Common and it was really crowded, maybe right after work, and some schmuck in a suit was walking along, minding his own boring business when a squirrel jumped down from a tree, scampered straight up his pants leg and side, across his shoulders and down and off into space, all in a heartbeat, maybe two. He froze in place like he'd just felt a ghost run over his bones. Cracked me up
@GlennS @InUnfunky red squirrels in the UK are taken seriously.
