--Boundary_(ID_eFjFII40IDsmwTdfkapEDA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Regarding Dave Webster's note on current abundance of red squirrels, I think it was only a year ago? or perhaps a bit longer ago that many of us were wondering where all the squirrels had gone! And, of course, fluctuations including big ones provide a lot of fodder for speculation for us.
