D.O.P.-T. (day before yesterday)

We saw another dead squirrel at the base of a tree, in the park. The breeze was ruffling his tail. There have been large numbers of them running around now that the weather is a little milder. I suppose he must have lost his grip.

D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

Light rain overnight - not foreseen in the forecast. I had picked up a copy of the pretty sad little local free newspaper from someone's driveway that had had the sprinklers drench it and then been run over - and wound up leaving it next to our trash cans to dry off before recycling it. Evidently it drew the rain, so that's good but it is now in the trash as irrecoverably scuzzy.
