How many squirrels do you have to kill to get a y2k meal for five? I have tons of them and envision them on my plate in January. Are they good to eat? Wild tasting? What should I put on them to enhance taste? Are they beter fried, broiled, or blackened? Do you kill with pellet gun, shotgun or bazooka?

Careful Rod.. this forum is monitored by the Squirrel King. You could be the next victim.

It was not SF it was Berkeley and El Cereto in the East Bay.

Transformer and Squril both gave up the ghost. 3500 with out power for 2-3 hours, power now restored. Occured Sat from about 12-2pm PST according to KCBS (740) Radio in SF.

Power restored in East Bay

A spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. says power has been restored to all 38,000 customers in the East Bay who were affected by a power outage.

The spokesman says the outage was caused by a squirrel that entered into a PG&E substation and into a transformer.

The outage began at 2:20 p.m. and affected 38,000 households in El Cerrito, Albany, Emeryville and Berkeley.

The spokesman said the squirrel was electrocuted when it entered the transformer.

zoober,

That brings to mind another entry for your menu:

Chicken Fried Squirrel!

Are moles guilty, too? I saw their holes in the back yard and I fear outages.

-- Mara (MaraWayne@aol.com), November 28, 1999.


Grandmother fried them like chicken. They were the original meat in Brunswick stew (Burgoo in KY)

-- forrester (bigo@mindspring.com), November 28, 1999.

I do believe that the deceased squirrel was Undercover Agent Nutty Buster. The Squirrel King can't afford any more downsizing now. His agents are needed for Y2K espionage.

-- dinosaur (dinosaur@williams-net.com), November 28, 1999.

If you live in the country you don't need to worry about moles. The squirrels have it totally organized. However, I am told by a friend of a friend that the moles have organized in all the 'burbs with undergournd wiring!! Beware!

Yes fear not the death of squirrels,eat them and wear their skins.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), November 28, 1999.


The Squirrel King (StillNuts@upina.Tree) is obviously a terrorist leader who has been organizing the recent upsurge in squirrel terorist activity.The F.B.I. should be brought in on this.More people must be made aware of the constant and insidious threat the ubiquitous squirrel represents.We American's can pull together and eat these squirrels. GOD bless us all.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), November 28, 1999.

Rod:

If grey or fox squirrels, figure one per person.

They are kind of tough, but tasty.

Squirrel King, bring on your hordes. I'm ready.

ALERT!! The crows have allied themselves with the crows!!!!!

Startled crows flee power line, cause outage

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. (AP) - A flock of crows sprang from a ground wire and left nearly 2,000 homes without power, some all day.

The crows were perched Monday morning on a 1,500-foot wire over the Kissimmee River, and their weight caused the wire to bend.

When they flew away, the wire snapped upward like a giant bow string, struck a live wire, and shorted out.

A fisherman saw their flight and told Florida Power & Light workers what happened.

FPL called in 10 workers and a 142-foot crane, said Ed Henne, area operations manager. It was a tricky fix because under an environmental permit, the poles connecting the wires over the river must be 110 feet tall.

Power was soon restored to about 700 of the 1,961 affected homes, but some residents didn't see electric light again until 6 p.m., Henne said.

Henne, a 36-year veteran of the company, said wildlife often cause problems, but the crow incident is a new one on him.
