That is one pretty squirrel. I went to the San Antonio Zoo recently and happened upon this guy. The Asian Tri-Colored Squirrel. Also known as Prevost's Squirrel, I didn't know these things existed. There're flying squirrels, yes, and regular squirrels, true, there're even collared squirrels that I am familiar with, but tri-colored squirrels? What was the purpose of my elementary education if not to accurately name and identify small furry animals? Oregon Trail you have let me down. I saw a lot of things at the zoo -- they even got new jaguar cubs or kittens or baby jaguar things -- but my favorite was the fancy pants squirrel.
And speaking of pretty, I've got too much bling! On my right arm at least. Whereas previously my shiny gold Aggie ring glared brilliantly in everyone's eye, now I have my shiny gold Aggie ring and a shiny new silver watch. It too is beautiful; perhaps too beautiful. Especially in relation to my completely naked left arm. I briefly tried moving my watch to my left wrist in an effort to be all right-handed like, but it felt wrong. I feel I must either alternate jewelry daily or embrace decorative excess and get myself a grill. With sapphires. There can be no room for compromise.
Lastly of note, I just got my medical license. This colored squirrel is now officially licensed to practice medicine in the great commonwealth of Virginia! Next stop, selling my credentials and credibility to late night infomercials.
