What the...slam on brakes!!

I think the squirrels in my town have a death wish because they are running aimlessly through the streets. Since it's warmer now, I wonder if this haphazard and dangerous trek is due to hormones raging and they are out and about looking for love. Or perhaps just looking for some good nuts. Aren't we all?! So sad because I've driven by three flattened squirrels that did not make it. So sad.
