I've added yet another item to the "Things That Probably Only I Have Ever Done" list:
Stalking squirrels using a 10-ton 1926 streetcar.
See, the Fort Smith Trolley Museum runs, at least in part, next to the Fort Smith Veteran's Cemetery, a lovely wooded place.
Woods = squirrels.
Squirrels + trolley = fun.
Not that I squish 'em or anything. That wouldn't be sporting.
HOW TO STALK SQUIRRELS USING A STREETCAR
1) Observe pair of squirrels hanging out besides trolley tracks some feet ahead.
2) Cut power to trolley so that you are approaching slowly and as quietly as a ten ton machine on somewhat rusty rails can manage.
3) Pull abreast of squirrels.
4) Ring trolley bell as loudly as possible.
5) Snicker as Squirrel 1 jumps up a foot in the air and heads for the hills.
6) Look surprised as Squirrel 2 simply gives you a "You ASSHOLE" look and calmly continues munching its acorn.

 Well done, Major.
