Looking over my Google Analytics report, I have found that a number of visitors to this blog have come from searches on Google for " squirrel bites."
Of course it is beacuse of this old post: http://allisoncrow.blogspot.com/2006/03/squirrel-bites.html
At my Austin house, I often had intermittent TV and Internet service. After a few visits from time warner cable the cause of my problem was communicated by a service technician wearing double denim, a hard hat and a tool belt -- mouth full of CHAW:
Tech: "Ma'am. I thank I know yer problem. I been all up and down that there pole and the problem is. . . .you got squirrel bites."
Me: "I'm sorry, did you say squirrel bites?"
Tech: "Yep. Ya got squirrel bites." Long pause.
End of story. Enough said. Have you ever been diagnosed with squirrel bites? I still think that is hilarious.
Note: I have not actually been bitten by a squirrel. They are like rats in my book. My cable wires were apparently gnawed on by the little varmints and that can lead to intermittent Internet connection. Beware: Squirrel bites can be a detriment to technology.

acflan - I had a neon sign go out in a store I ran a long time ago. The electrician found a fried rat with its teeth in the wire above the ceiling tiles. Squirrels on the outside, rats on the inside - sounds like a song...
