🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33fTitle: Squirrels Might Have SchedulesDescription:This was recorded the same day as Episode 33e—still at French Park, still walking, still stirred up. I ended up bumping into Yost again while out on the trail and we just kept talking. The conversation drifted from internet toxicity to neighborhood apps, turtle biology, snapping turtle sightings, and this sudden theory I had about squirrels running on daily rhythms. I wasn’t with my kids—just crossing paths with other families, swapping creek stories and turtle facts.I talk about:The blurred line between online noise and real-world passivityHow even anonymous people contribute to cultural decayTurtle egg temperatures and how they determine sexCOVID wildlife spikes and box turtle sightingsA strange realization about squirrel routinesA snapping turtle almost taking off my mom’s fingersThe park looking completely different after honeysuckle clearing💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – Still at French Park, ranting about the anonymous online “greater bad” 03:02 – “Every comment section devolves—it’s a joke” 06:40 – Turtle biology: egg temps, slow metabolism, and 80-year lifespans 09:15 – COVID season and a box turtle boom 11:28 – “I think squirrels have schedules”—a story from grandpa’s chair 14:10 – Snapping turtle encounters and how my mom almost lost her hand 17:55 – Park nostalgia and changes after invasive species removal🧠 Core Takeaway:If squirrels can keep a rhythm, maybe we should too.🙏 Closing Line:Crumb Confessional #33f — This ain’t the same park I remember.
