This story was sent to me by one of my readers. It's a tale involving horse diets, a bucket of dried beet pellets, and a tame squirrel, and is so bizarre that it has to be true. It's too good not to share.

I'd add it to the "good news" thread, except that this isn't a new story, and also, one's perspective on whether or not it's "good" depends on one's fondness for squirrels.
