Road kill and the zombie squirrel, originally uploaded by LahDeeDah Lu.

Ok, so this dead squirrel was on the road right by my kids’ school. I passed it and realized that I wanted to take a photo of it, so I stopped and turned around. Just as a turned around, I saw a squirrel walking very slowly across the road… at first it looked drunk. I thought the dead squirrel had come to life… or better yet, turned into a zombie. You can imagine how excited I suddenly got… but then I realized it was just another very slow squirrel, and that dead one was a little more up the road.

It also made me think that maybe there is a family of very slow and depressed squirrels who contemplate suicide regularly.

That’s my son inspecting the squirrel.
