The pool skimmer basket was making that familiar gurgling noise so I went to dump it out.  As I pulled the cover off I wasn’t immediately sure what I was looking at but it wasn’t leaves.  The instant that my brain registered that a squirrel had gotten sucked into the skimmer and was clinging to the basket handle, the squirrel’s brain registered daylight and an escape from its predicament. This caused it to execute an extreme vertical maneuver. Time stood still and I could make out the scene in slow motion in 360 degrees like some kind of sci-fi footage. We were locked eye to eye about 10 feet off the ground; I had also executed my own form of vertical maneuver although mine was a twisting, flailing sort of excrement propulsion. I lost sight of the beast as I reentered the atmosphere and entered the splashdown phase. My heart beat has yet to return to normal. That no shit just happened.

Quit gold from @GlockTherapy Dec '19

My identity was trying to quit.  I would say, "I'm trying to quit." When I changed my mind to say, "No thanks, I don't chew" my identity changed.   I am not a tobacco chewer.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who used to dip snuff by the bucket,
He said with a grin,
As he tossed his last tin,
I'm not the nic bitches puppet!

I was actually really afraid of clicking on the link.  Heh.

Awesome job, Athan!!  And thanks for all you do here - you have had such a HUGE impact on so many people here. 
Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.
