Mancklin's Profile

I hears that von Wotisname spent years replicating the look of East Germany in those years-the paint colors, the furniture styles--and in my view succeeded brilliantly. I spent a year in Moscow in the seventies and this film took me right back to the barren aesthetic of those institutional spaces, and the often surprising comfort, even opulence, of some private apartments.

There is a huge overpopulation of squirrels in Prospect park because of the garbage that picnic-ers leave around, and because the park administration does nothing about improving garbage containers. People do their best to bag up their leftovers, but the containers are totally inadequate. In my view they should institute a carry in-carry out policy, and enforce it. There's my little rant.

But to address the original question, you can try to plant things that squirrels don't like. Here is a book on the subject:
"Squirrel-proofing your home and garden" by Rhonda Massingham Hart. Never read it, don't know if it works but might be worth a look
