I was up at my studio at 4:30 enjoying a pot of Peter's famous bean and a Killer Bee. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Something small and brown ducked behind my table saw. I figured a mouse found it's way in. I continued my coffee and my cigar. I saw it again and it was too big for a mouse. Not a red squirrel the tail was wrong. Finally it came out and low and behold a Flying Squirrel. I've had them in my studio many years ago and live trapped them. Now I expect I'll have to do it again. I cracked the door and the critter went out. I wondered what was tearing up the insulation upstairs.
