Rus loves the Internet -- so much, that his friends call him the
"Surfin' Squirrel." Rus lives in a small rural town in the Mid West,
in a tree next to Mary Miller's house.
Mary works for the Rural Utilities Service
and she helps rural telecommunications companies and cooperatives
bring telecommunications and Internet service out to rural communities.

Service so that he can help. This leads Rus on several adventures
