Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

When I think squirrel, the mental image is still a red one. When my Mother and I travelled across Canada we saw a lot of different types of squirrels; until that point I had thought there were only greys and reds. I hear we are getting black ones in the south of UK now, that are even bigger than the greys and out-competing them. I haven't seen any yet though.

I tend to class the things I saw in the Rockies as ground squirrels, but no doubt they're closely related to the European varieties. I too have yet to see a black squirrel, though Mr EA has seen one in England.

I remember once when visiting my Mum's family here in England that they suggested taking us to see this reserve where they had red squirrels; we were far more interested in seeing grey ones. It is funny how what is exotic varies!

Indeed!
