Squirrel Ranching Notes

Cloudy, overcast day on the ranch.

Soon it will be spring, and life on the ranch will get easier. Right now the squirrels are a little un-ruly, and hard to manage. One of them actually asked me for a raise, and I told him to quickly get back to work and quit asking questions for which there is no real answer.

We have an urgent order for several thousand pairs of potato skin chaps, a country/western apparel company ordererd them. Some of the squirrels can't sew very well, and I have had to throw away many potato skins with mistakes on them.

I don't think the squirrels realize how costly this potato skin material is. It has to be peeled, then carefully dried before it can be sewn into garments.
