Five things to know about Nancy Makin:

• She keeps “squirrel gloves” in the trunk of her car, in case she sees one in the road. “I’ll pick it up and go put it under a tree so it doesn’t get run over anymore,” she said. And it’s not limited to squirrels, her son Christopher said. “She almost died trying to save a turtle,” he said.

• She rolls her own cigarettes. A heavy smoker for years — through thick and thin — she is disgusted with the new smoking laws and the rising cost of cigarettes. She carries them in a Marlboro Red hard pack “because I’m so vain,” she said, holding up the empty box. “I buy one of these about every six weeks.”

• Makin is a political junkie. She was glued to C-SPAN during the health care debates — and countless other debates — and has Clinton’s grand jury testimony on tape. “I watch both sides to see what the good guys and the morons are saying.” Which is which? She keeps that to herself unless in close company.
