The American Dream

As I walked past the window today I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I backed-up and did a double take. It was a squirrel with a 6-8 inch piece of pizza crust in his mouth climbing up a tree in my back yard.

Did I really see that? On closer inspection… I DID, I did see that! He climbed up the tree and sat on a branch with his back against the tree and facing toward the house. As he started to munch on his most excellent lunch, the thought occurred to me – “this little dude was only a six pack and a wide screen away from The American Dream.”

Then I looked over my shoulder and noticed that from where the squirrel was sitting, he had a great view of my 58 inch HD TV.

I immediately ran to the fridge to make sure all of my beer was still there. Thankfully, it was. hehe
