4 2 - Tuesday, October 7, 2008 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com FRIDAY: The Extremist A parental visit best forgotten PREACHER MAN I was trying to take it easy the night before the Wisconsin. game. My family wasn't here for the weekend, so I decided to do some studying. I was walking home from the library around midnight on Friday when a white SUV stopped next to me as I walked down Packard. A 90-pound girl, obviously drunk, stumbled out of the car and promptly vomited on the sidewalk. Not long after, the girl's mom got out of the front seat to help her daughter get up the last of the puke, while drunken party-goers looked on, some in silence, others commenting on the respectable size of the girl's puddle. Her father sat in the driver's seat with his head on the steer- ing wheel, most likely wondering how much vomit was splashed on to the white leather seats of his See something that embodies the AnnArbor or University of Michigan experience?

LINDYSTEVENS Squirrel bonding Last week I had one of those bizarre shared experiences that momentarily connects you to strangers in a way that could never be replicated. Walking toward the Diag, I saw a squirrel fall out of a tree. Seriously, it just fell. Two sto- ries. The first passerbyto respond was a student pushing speakers toward the steps of the grad library. "Eep!" she squeaked, turning away from the squirrel body in horror. "I don't think I can walk past it." Then everyone in that little cor- ner of the Diag - men in business suits, co-opers on bikes - joined together in an unbelieving chorus. "Oh crap, that squirrel!" For seconds, we all stood mes- merized by the furry, unmoving form, not knowing what to do or who to call. Then, miraculously, the squirrel twitched, jumped up on its legs and scurried back up the tree like noth- ing happened. We rejoiced, "Oh crap, that squirrel!" Perhaps I'm reaching a little far in trying to find some philosophi- cal meaning here. But one thing's for sure: the sound of a squir- rel belly flopping on pavement is weird.
