Contemplating Chipmunk

Dear Diary,

This is Short Tail, Rosie's nemesis.  Rosie wasn't around and Short Tail was just sitting in the grass contemplating life I guess.  Maybe he is thinking of the coming winter, I know I am.  This morning it is only 25F, our first heavy frost of the season.  Despite our beautiful autumn, we all know what is coming.

All I can think about is the terrible devastation in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Michael.  Climate change has made these terrible storms more frequent and more severe.  It breaks my heart to see the environmental devastation humans have caused the planet.  I guess Short Tail and I are both in a contemplative mood this morning.
