peace, love & (chip)munkey-business
I‘VE HAD NO INTERNET FOR 5 DAYS, but that isn’t the only monkey-business going on. The daily antics include many summits by local chippies to the top of Big Buddha (and in fact all my Buddhas). Just wanted to say a quick “hello” from my local wifi place while I await reconnection. Please Phone Company, reconnect me in time for Food Fest Week 3 on Thursday?!?!? I’ll sing a chorus of the Talking Heads’ tune “Neighborhood” at the nearest karaoke bar if you plug me back in on time: “We got peace, love and monkey business…gonna reach the very top.”
Welcome to Starting a Lawn Mowing Business. When the icy rain stops today I will go have a careful look to see if that’s what’s up. :)
maybe they ate up your internet connection, climbed the Buddha’s head and see if they can get clearer reception….LOL!!!!
@Jeff: I love the idea of the chippies paying tribute, when I just always thought they were using my storage facilities rent-free. So the acorns and bean seeds and all of they stash are for me?
Our chipmunks used to place chestnuts in my crumbling concrete steps. I thought it was tribute or rent.
They moved away when I brought the big dog home.
@Andrew: I said I’d sing, I didn’t guarantee any particular pitch or tone.
@Donna: Salamanders do this, too? Or was he really just your average horny toad (tee hee)?
For years in Florida, we had a salamander who climbed on Buddha’s head in the lanai each afternoon at 6:30 P.M. and pulsed his red throat. Randy little bugger. We assume the elevation — not Buddha — helped in his courtship. But, who knows.
“We got peace, love and monkey business…gonna reach the very top.†– As long as you sing it in a chipmunk voice, I’m there.
