I just spent the better part of last week at my wife's family farm. It is a gorgeous acreage on the South Santiam river in Sweethome, OR. It was a great time.

But, when I arrived, a cousin was using the facilities and I stashed a bunch of food on a table unprotected from critters for the day as my son and I drifted the river and failed to catch anything.

When we returned, I noticed that a critter had gotten into our food. This was full daylight and interesting as we always have food left in areas that are vulnerable and really have never had anything eaten in the past.

But what is really interesting is what they ate: 1 full loaf of whole wheat bread; 1 full bag of whole wheat English muffins; 1 whole nectarine; 1/2 apple. And, what was tasted and not taken was a loaf of white bread and a bag of everything bagels.

The critter had a significant preference for whole wheat. Amazing. Sort of makes me laugh. No idea what sort of critter this was but a squirrel is pretty high on the list.

Thought it might entertain some of you as well.
