A month and a half back, Fahim and I were returning home when we saw this truck. ... Cuz I really don't think we're in an alternate universe right now, you know? As it turns out, we got our answer when the car we were in passed the truck.

I talk about the squirrels a fair bit here. I even take pictures now and then, Shocking, yeah? And then I post ‘em here. Bad habit, right? Well… A week and a half ago – although it seems like two or three days, maybe, so maybe time is speeding up for me – I...

Thanks go to e4c5, aka Raditha Dissanayake, who said: that’s actually a purple faced leaf monkey. I know...

I know, I know. I’m easily amused. I can’t help it. We have a lot of squirrels here. They regularly chirp first thing in the morning along with the birds, adding a beautiful sound to the chorus. They also chirp when agitated, like when the rat snake is on the prowl. And they’re very...
