Ah…Fall. It’s pumpkin and cider season in Kentucky.
However, it’s also school time, and so I’m teaching my doctoral students minding my own business on the third floor of the Admin building, when all of a sudden a squirrel shows up clinging to the screen in the window next to my lecture podium. He was upside down coming down from the roof I guess, and trying to figure out where to go. Alert student Sophia Huang, my T.A., quickly took pictures while I got my camera out, and the last picture is by me just as the squirrel had leaped from the ledge at this third floor window onto the nearby ginko tree.
