What’s Wrong with this Picture?

Where am I?!
Hi, my name is Alex and I went for the ride of my life the other day and now I have NO CLUE WHERE I AM!
It all started on a Monday morning … or was it a Saturday? I don’t know, but I was sitting on the step of some random person when all of a sudden they came out and scared the crap out of me! I jumped up and ran for my little squirrel life.
As I ran I got thinking, “I wonder where they are going?” So I stopped running and hopped on the big moving thing. As soon as I did I started to regret it but just as I turned to jump BAM, I was in the forbidden zone! (DAH DAH DAH)
We started to go faster and faster, and big moving things were going by. My fur was flipping in the wind. I looked like a squirrel kabob!
Vrooooom!
“Whoa!” I said as I jumped back.
Finally we came to a stop and I ran like a baby squirrel being chased by a cat. I ran so fast I tripped and fell. Then a lady said, “Did you know you had a passenger?”
They said, “No, why?”
She said, “There was a squirrel on your truck.”
Then they all laughed and continued their business.
Well, now I know not to jump on things they call trucks. I also think that I need a drive home.
