short Friday swim

which would have been longer, except for deadline excitement at the paper and a very small squirrel I encountered on the way from work to pool. The little one was knocked out on the sidewalk and had a bloody nose, presumably from falling out of a tree.

While I worked the phones (it was way too cute to leave to the marauding cats and birds) the squirrel came to, so I scooped it up in a discarded drink cup and returned it to a safe-looking notch in what I guessed was its tree. When the butterfly lady and I stopped by much later, there was no sign of the squirrel, so maybe it got a new lease on life.

My abbreviated swim was still more than a mile and pretty quick. Not too shabby :)
