Retro Blogging - Why Squirrels?

Today, someone I've met recently suggested that I dig deep into the squirrel archive and explain why. Why squirrels? Why library squirrels?

(Is it okay to do blog re-runs? You must tell me if you are offended by recycling. I promise not to do it every day.)

Why squirrels? Squirrels are smart and silly and have hot little tempers. Squirrels are alarmingly similar to librarians. Squirrels like to have their smarts with coffee.

Chip chip chrrrrr.
