There was a group ride and BBQ on Sunday on the peninsula. And no one noticed until folks were going home that there had been an early fatality. 
The victim, a T. Squirrel, had been run over by the front tire of the car of one of the participants. It is unknown if T. Squirrel was an innocent victim or had committed suicide by placing themself in front of the car as it pulled into park.

oh no! that wasn’t my car, was it? please say it isn’t so.
-
Velogirl – it is not your car. The person whose car it is knows about it, but I promised not to name names.
-
thank you.
-
are you certain the squirrel wasn’t just napping?
-
Velogirl – positive. T. Squirrel was well not napping but rather ’sleeping the big sleep’ (apologies to Raymond Chandler).
-
oh my! that picture (i’m sorry) is so hilarious!
-
That puts a damper on the whole day!
-
you know…that looks a bit too clean…
if i had been a toddler criminal, i would apologize to the deceased, pick it up, move it over to underneath someone’s car, and go back to a jungle gym.

Lauren – so did a couple of other folks who saw it in situ rather than the picture version.
Chris – I would not go that far. Of course the driver may have been acting in self-defense; we had squirrels attacking folks in one of the local parks last year, so maybe the squirrel was on the attack.
BTW – good to finally meet you in person.Twinkie – ahh, a bit of larceny in your thinking. We were parked right next to a large playground; I thought Ms. Chatterbox was going to climb up and go down the big slide while we waited for the others.
