We have one that runs around the campus at Brockport. But, ours is half white and half grey. Never seen a completely white one before.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

I remember when I first saw a black one in Syracuse 8 or so years back. I was fascinated. They have now since worked their way to Rochester.

The squirrels of NYC act more like outdoor pets than wildlife. Hand-fed and constantly curious, my favorite memory was of a squirrel climbing back and forth across a man's shoulders as he ate a sandwich on a park bench. It tugged on his sleeve and poked around his backpack looking for any snacks. And I hadn't brought my camera that day. :roll:
