Quote from the article-" But if the squirrel were rabid, it probably would have died already, which means...this squirrel may just be one nasty squirrel bastard".

Hey, I know that squirrel but how did he get to Vermont.

Robin and I were riding late last year when a squirrrel suddenly appeared very near my front wheel. I kinda did a double take because I didn't see him come from anywhere. When we stopped Robin told me he dove off of the power line at me as I rode under. Thank the lord he missed. That could have been really bad if he had hit me.
I am an individual. Just like everyone else.

I wonder if the Bennington squirrel is related to this one:
