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.”

“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.

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.

@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)?

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.

@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?

maybe they ate up your internet connection, climbed the Buddha’s head and see if they can get clearer reception….LOL!!!!

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. :)
