[CH] squirrels, etc.

Peeps,
Sorry to be off topic, but FWIW the animal control people hate to see
someone trap an animal and then release it far away - it is the perfect
scenario for spreading rabies across regions.
I love that image of the chile-head squirrel that wouldn't leave the
feeder. Whap! Hey! Leave me alone! I'm eating pepper!
As for DC restaurants, yes, the Ethiopians are good, with wonderful
combinations of spices - just don't expect any flatware. A spoon could go
far in that land. Bardo Rodeo is an excellent microbrewery, but in a
really strange industrial building painted black on the inside. The roof
was leaking when I was there in March '98. Someone told me it used to be a
car dealership. There was a 1960s car stuck as if it had been driven
through the front window. Go figure.
And ladybugs: Does anyone know what it is about their life cycle that
makes them swarm in the fall? It seemed at one time that they were
everywhere. Maybe it would not be too difficult to find or encourage some
egg-laying, and have the next year's beneficial insects ready and waiting.
Old business: Remember when the call went out here about the $.79 cans of
Embasa chipotles at Odd Lots, a year or two ago? I found one of them while
digging around in my parents' basement, and they were still perfectly good.
I baked some into a big batch of beans, but all this recent pork talk has
me thinking, thinking... And besides, maybe it's time for me to go browse
again.
