We have a wooded campus. This time of year you can see a few critters. It is enough of a problem that someone thought to make signs. I put that on Twitter, got it in front of the right person and it reached almost 136,000 accounts. Not bad for an easy joke.

We should all be doing that by now.
But not until after the weekend, right?
