Hammer Time Flash Mob (video)

It's hard to think of anything more enjoyable than watching a flash mob performing the Hammer Time dance, all wearing shiny golden parachute pants.  Enjoy!

It's Tough Being Small and Tasty

A cute outdoor critter recently met his doom.

I was sitting near our open family room window and heard a commotion outside.  When I looked, I saw that a local cat (who is regularly roaming around our neighborhood) had jumped onto a tree in front of our house, and caught a chipmunk in his jaws.  The cat then ran off, undoubtedly to enjoy his snack.

Earlier in the week, I'd witnessed that same chipmunk being harrassed by a small songbird because, I guess, that bird didn't want the chipmunk eating some of the bird seed that had already fallen to the ground.  Of course, there was plenty of seed, both on the ground and in the bird feeder.  I think that bird, as small as it was, just wanted someone it could bully.

I will miss that little chipmunk.
