Buffalo, NY as the birthplace of modern electrical air conditioning still doesn't hold a candle to the good old-fashioned spring house, because it provides an excellent hiding place, wonderfully refreshing drinking water and marvelous cooling capacity.
Now, that's funny...two squirrels fighting over birdseed that neither could possibly access. One was run off and tried to get back, and the other sits atop the baffle looking stupid with its butt and bushy tail in the air, as it attempts to figure a way into the bird feeder. Scratching, using its little rodent teeth to shove its nose in, doing all manner of contortions and going through all kinds of gyrations to try to get to the birdseed. Seems the best it can get are empty hulls.
