As I later reflected on this strangeness, the fact that the squirrel dropped from the eave...while (it could'a been) listening in on our conversation (with seedy intent, no doubt) - gave new/double meaning to the phrase "Eaves-Dropping".
What do you think?
LOL. The NSA is known to have used secret squirrels.
