Thanks Allan, I enjoyed your stories.

Reminds me of a shabby looking fellow I would see below my balcony every morning at the crack of dawn walking around, both arms weighted down with old grocery bags full of stuff. I called him the bag man. Couldn't quite figure him out. He seemed to wander about aimlessly placing pieces of bread around the trees, on the side walk and in some gardens. Then he would wander about aimlessly for an hour and then collect the bread and stuff it back in his bags. I watched this more months, and thought it quite odd.
One day I called out to him, "What are you doing down there?" He looked up at me, smiled and proceeded to give me an hour long lecture on squirrel behavior. He was a professor at the University of Toronto studing Squirrel migration patterns.
Want to know anything about squirrels? Ask me.
