An absolutely cool picture. One question though: Is it likely a squirrel as the caption states? I would place my money on a mouse instead, as most squirrels aren’t nocturnal. Thanks!
Link to thisphotoshop. no mouse tracks before “encounter”. You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time. Much like the Higgs boson. Nice origami though.
