The music was all wrong. It should have been the James Bond theme, not "Pink Panther".
 
Not even a hint of desparation about him. Forget those walnuts and acorns - there's got to be another pecan in here somewhere. :smile:
 
Whoever set that up and shot it is cruel
 
It's certainly not cruel for the squirrel, if that's what you meant. Maybe cruel for the cat.
 
Weird; it seems that the dominant frequencies of the brass in the PP music were the same as the dominant resonant frequencies of the speaking in my intercom. The intercom was playing the music sympathetically and almost as loud as the computer. I've never seen that happen in seven years.
