July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
You live in a tourist town. There's always an 'interesting' mix of visitors. But this year they are especially... different. In what way? Did you notice the people running around in monkey suits on Halloween? There were a bunch of them staying at the tourist hotel by the lake. I’m not sure they are human tourists. I saw one run up a light pole and sit on the top eating a banana. There was a big Halloween party in a bar somewhere near here. Some one told me there were 50 or so different varieties of monkeys playing in the decorative vines hanging from the ceiling. When the party was over groups of monkeys were playing in the streets. I know one man said a big ape tossed him over its shoulder climbed a tree and threw the man in an eagles nest. He had to call the fire rescue squad to get him down. You don’t believe that story do you? Sounds like someone drank to many banana daiquiri. Maybe so, but Halloween is over. My cousin saw a troupe of them get off a plane at the airport. Spider monkeys live in evergreen forest in central America. Monkey habitats are disappearing all over the world. The habitats are being destroyed as people cut down forest to build homes and farms. Maybe they are looking around to find a new place to live? Maybe they are migrating? As long as they are peaceful who cares? Monkeys are usually peaceful. They just sit in trees and swing through the trees with their tails. Do all varieties live in trees? No. Some live on grasslands and in mountainous areas as well as in forests with different types of trees. They are omnivores, eating both meat and plants. Nah. Your just funning me. There aren’t any real monkey tourists running around. Really! What is that over in the peach tree in your front yard? Hey, leave my peaches alone. I need those peaches for winter. Go eat a banana! ![Merit Badge in Ghost
