ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Not too much happening in OB. But once in a while we get a bit of excitement. We have lots of squirrels in the neighborhood. The gang seems to play tag, zip up trees and limbs and tightrope walk across all sorts of overhead wires.
It was misty this morning. Rocky (named after a famous Saturday morning cartoon character) was zipping along and (apparently) decided to jump to another wire...which he/they do all the time. Of course, you want to make sure you don't touch both wires at the same time or...ZAP. One moment you're a high wire artist thinking about all the nuts you've got stored up and the next you're toast....literally.
We were surfing the 'net when Lydia heard what sounded like like a transformer blowing just as the lights went out. This has happened enough times that we know the location of the culprit. This time, though, I didn't have to walk far as a neighbor was standing outside her house talking to another neighbor about the body in the grass. Case solved. And the Florida Power & Light crew were nice enough to remove the scorched critter after they finished repairs.
