Sometimes life gives you maple tree #squirrels. Those are good days.

Love watching the little dude fight to rip off each little leaf. Taking their nesting *very* seriously.

* former resident: great coastal city
* excellent universities, culture (food; music; diversity, e.g.1980's influx of Buddhists)
* scenic beauty; tourism; festivals; fishing
* historical importance: e.g. WWII convoy staging
* longish winters; like all places healthcare under strain
