You found an acorn
Meet Shadrach

Shadrach is The Pour Over’s squirrel mascot and, by his own account, the hardest working member of the team. He reads every issue, guards the acorn supply, and occasionally chews through a cable or two. (He’s really sorry.)
That acorn you just clicked? He hid it. He has tucked them into the quiet corners of pages all over this site, so keep your eyes open. A reader who finds one gets to come say hi.
