"Now the squirrels enter from behind."

Freakonomics likes to watch squirrels. (And does not like to watch for potential out-of-context quotes.)

That's to avoid bites. They're very high-strung.

I saw subject line come across my feed reader and thought Is Althouse posting squirrel porn now?

In Titus world only gerbils enter from behind.

Around my place they still bite through the lid. Oddly though, they only have bitten through the lid in front of my door, and not the ones in the neighboring apartments. I guess my trash is just better than my neighbors.

I'm not a brilliant Ph.D. in Economics; nor do I teach at a prestigious university.

I run my leftover pop tarts (and other foodstuffs) down the garbage disposal so they don't end up in a land fill. Or tempt squirrels.

I lied above. My family doesn't eat pop-tarts because they are, you know, bad for you. But leftover apple cores and such still go down the disposal.
