Thank you for your columns.

Hi there, A little comment is in order regarding squirrels. Your statement "... because many of them are rabid, they are a real health hazard" is in error. Squirrels and other small animals, although capable of carrying rabies, virtually never do, according to the CDC. Check it out.
Oops! Like all bigotry, squirrel bigotry comes from ignorance.
