Famous Squirrels

Rice has become a celebrity, there is no denying it (the first squirrel to visit all 50 states). Sometimes when I arrive at a new host they are more excited to meet Rice than they are me. And I’m cool with that, I completely understand that people would rather meet a fake plastic squirrel than another human being. If I had known Rice was going to become such a big hit across the country I would have planned to incorporate more. But once again, this is practice, the next trip will be bigger and better. Today, we must pay tribute to well known squirrels.
