AN odd way to do the dead-man's float....(it's a ground squirrel)

That's a ground squirrel and it's literally pointing vertically upwards with it's nose touching the plaster surface...I have never seen a critter go like that before. Oh well, it was scooped out and given a proper desert discharge - throw it over the wall and let the desert dispose of it. In case anyone is wondering, FC is 5.6ppm and CC's were 0 so I'm not going to do anything chemistry-wise....

 

[jblizzle]

Ah yes, the desert discharge ... I am quite familiar with it.

Around here, the sacred grounds behind the fence.

Gas?

My desert discharge area is over the west wall - right into the common area..... I'm sure the HOA is glad I don't get many critters in the pool.

My in ground dump area was over the fence just down from the lake -- it was funny to watch the horses sniff and snort as they passed by on the way to go swimming!

(This was not in or near the lake, no contamination issues!)

Darwinian effect of making sure ground squirrels do not try to walk on water.
I have observed red tree squirrels hanging by their back legs off my pool coping rehydrating with my pool water.
So far no casualties.

That poor squirrel, he probably got into your “herb” garden and was just following the magical acorn.

 

[RMcGirr83]

It's Thanos fault

 

[Newdude]

Maybe he saw somebody without their pantaloons.

I recently bought some salmon and it turns out that the salmon and the squirrel were best friends. In fact they were in love. Sammy, the squirrel, lived on a salmon farm in northern California, and every day they would meet at the edge of the lake. But, they couldn't make it work because Sammy lived on land and Julie lived in the water. Also, their families forbade them from marrying or doing anything together. When Julie was caught and sold, Sammy was inconsolable and despondent. Sammy moved to Arizona to work for Planters in their quality control department, but he couldn't get over the loss of his one true love. So, it's apparent what happened. At least now they can be together forever. True story.

It’s so cool that Googles A.I bot (aka @JamesW ) can tell romantic stories too. I wonder if he’s the voice in all the Waymo autonomous cars that buzz around town here?

 

[Rattus Suffocatus]

Well, it's almost a drowned rat. I wonder if it knew pig Latin...

So given the thread title I was looking forward to some good physics discourse.. instead I get a Schrodinger's squirrel...

Well, if you hadn’t opened the thread, then the quantum fluctuations would have never collapsed into the singular possibility of the dead squirrel....so, honestly, that squirrel’s death is on you .... at least as far as your multiverse is concerned.

The squirrel had a 50/50 chance of life or death before I opened the thread.. If you had invoked the cat state, superposition would have taken precedence and he would have been both alive AND dead and PITA would have been satiated.

OR I could have decided to be Heisenbergian and said I didn't know.
either way momentum is conserved.

 

[Wobblerlorri]

Okay, it looks like higher mathematics is invading the thread... Gonna have to move it to The Deep End before long!

If we can’t speak openly in bra-ket notation on a pool forum, then honestly what’s the point....

 

[Rattus Suffocatus]

Nope! You observed it, so you killed the squirrel...

 

[Wobblerlorri]

Well, I see your Heisenbergian squirrel and raise you my Mandelbrot set.

[Totally awesome image removed!]

woo hooo.. we are invoking chaos theory now.. I'll see your Mandelbrot set and raise you a Strange Attractor... Lorenz to be precise!

Further into the deep end this thread deteriorates.

I bet Matt just wanted a thread with animal carcasses in it and we've messed it up with our pseudo-intellectual silliness
