Squirrel?!

So my brother came in here earlier and told me that there's a woman who lives in the street parallel to ours, and she raised a squirrel. First, he started with "I'm not sure if that was a dream, or if that actually happened...". Anyway. She raised a squirrel since he was a baby, but he ran away and now lives in the tree in our front yard. She's fine with that, because she wants him to be in the "wild" (I live in the middle of the town, think about that), but he's not yet fully independent. So she wants to bring him food once a day. While my brother was telling me all this, I was cracking up. It's so insane. I ask him if she looked a bit crazy, and he said "nothing like rat race." :) So I went outside and checked to see if the squirrel was there. I didn't see him, but I saw the food she had left for him.

So odd.
