Your stories never cease to amaze me!Originally Posted by BleeckerSt_Girl
We have 32 spokes on all our wheels.
I had a squirrel run smack into my front wheel spokes from the side last year...the spinning wheel flung him up and over my head, but he didn't get caught in my wheel. I stopped my bike and looked back where the squirrel was lying in the middle of the road behind me. Then he got up, looked real confused, and then ran off! close call!
Here in Texas I am also worried about startling cows on the open range ranches. There is no fear like a terrified baby calf is running confused on the road with you. I don't even want to think about the bike/cyclist vs. cow scenario!

We had a tree fall on the house...it had a big cleft on the inside. We didn't discover the cleft until we started sawing it up. No less than 6 squirrels jumped out of the cleft--one at a time OVER THE SAW BLADE as it was slicing through the trunk! It was HILARIOUS.
No squirrels were harmed in the slicing of this tree.
