One time we had a huge summer storm and a fallen limb knocked out a power line running from the alley to our house. Well, a utilities worker came out to repair it. I asked him if this was what kept him busiest and told me that, actually, squirrels do more harm to power lines then storms. (Gnawing on then or getting fried, I suppose?) As if to confirm it, a squirrel appeared on a nearby line. He then proceeded to shake the wire in his hands as if to shake the squirrel down! A funny moment. I have since used that conversation as permission to "put to bed" any squirrel that is lingering on the street as a drive by. After all, just keeping the power lines safe!

The funny thing about nature is that if you kill these, they'll make more. Just not in your yard or your attic. And the same goes for moles, too, of which there will be none in heaven as they are plainly hell-spawned destroyers of the fruit of man's labors. Plainly consequences of the fall.
