Riddle Sideways: same here
Riddle Sideways: ah, a good sport
Adams Rubble: it was wet from the rain last night and the air had a special quality
Riddle Sideways: go for a walk and watch the jammed highways
Adams Rubble: seemed different --I observed but did not know why
Riddle Sideways: smell the fresh air. avoid the car exhausts
Adams Rubble: I did not sleep too well last night
Riddle Sideways: ah
Adams Rubble: yes, one must avoid car exhausts
Riddle Sideways: in that lack of sleep haze
Adams Rubble: got up in the middle of the night and was reading Chrlotte Bronte
Riddle Sideways: good
Riddle Sideways: instead of laying there awake
Riddle Sideways: planning the unplannable day
Adams Rubble: I observed that when reading a novel or watching a movie I always want the man and woman to find each other and get together and I wondered why
Adams Rubble: some people are perfectly happy being alone
Adams Rubble: but in the novels and movies, they aren't
Riddle Sideways: yes, but few of the novels/movies show that
Riddle Sideways: snap!
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: Someone described comedy as the couple getting married at the end :)

Riddle Sideways: hmmm
Riddle Sideways: what is the credibliity of 'someone'
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: it beats the rodents talking about weather
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: let's not get started on that topic
Adams Rubble stands corrected
Riddle Sideways: both rodents and ants have been long studies
Riddle Sideways: seems this is the first reainy season in years the ants are not amass in the house
Adams Rubble: wow
Riddle Sideways: only a couple ideas why
Riddle Sideways: still being researched
Riddle Sideways: And, years ago rodents were doing expensive damage to our parked cars
Adams Rubble: oh my
Riddle Sideways: our cats would be sitting by the left fender staring
Riddle Sideways: could not get into the fender
Riddle Sideways: has not happened for a few years now
Riddle Sideways: However, most of friends and conversations have mentioned their issues
Riddle Sideways: the last couple years
Adams Rubble: our squirrels seem to do different stuff from year to year
Riddle Sideways: and driving the area can see hoods up on parked cars
Adams Rubble: sort of like undergraduates, each class has its own idea of fun
Riddle Sideways: ah, that may be it
Riddle Sideways: squirrels are current issue. with voles and ants in the past
Riddle Sideways: current class are mischeivist(sp?)
Riddle Sideways: knocking the flower pots off deck so their runway is clear
Riddle Sideways: well, then again, these might be almost sort of kinda topics for these studies of life, reality, the universe and everythign
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: wild animals are increasingly becoming more numerous in our lives
Riddle Sideways: yes, notice that too
Riddle Sideways: waiting and watching for the two mallards
Adams Rubble: the deer are devouring the native plants--not alowing new trees to grow
Riddle Sideways: yes, the deer ate everything planted
Riddle Sideways: this might be the year that a Fence has to be put up on the 2rd side of property
Adams Rubble: The deer now jump over our fence
Riddle Sideways: fire district is recommending fences are spark stoppers
Riddle Sideways: the world has so many fences
Adams Rubble: interesting how many concerns we can uncover
Riddle Sideways: to survive ya gotta jump over them to eat
Riddle Sideways: concerns every direction
Riddle Sideways: opening eyes to concerns
Riddle Sideways: an article said that getting out walking was so good for old people in so many ways
Riddle Sideways: walking the same block and noticing things
Riddle Sideways: is good for memory and brain
Riddle Sideways: noting 'concerns'
Riddle Sideways: how many fences are in the neighborhood
Riddle Sideways: where can the deer walk?
Adams Rubble: the fence help the deer practice their leaping skills
Adams Rubble: fences
Riddle Sideways: the mountain lions are sooooo graceful leapers
Adams Rubble: so far the mountain lions have not returned to our necks of the woods
Riddle Sideways: the turkeys are sooo awkward fliers
Riddle Sideways: the little light squirrels land on the house or deck soooo heavy
Riddle Sideways: sounds like a cow just landed
Adams Rubble: in the woods one little squirrel sounds like a teddy bears' picnic

Riddle Sideways: oh
Adams Rubble wonders how many animal songs they could come up with
Riddle Sideways: was not sure of their set
Adams Rubble: The first I remember was "How much is that doggie in the window"
Adams Rubble: was on the radio in the kitchen
Riddle Sideways: and ... 'The Animals' did not sing animal songs
Adams Rubble: then there was "Cincinnati Dancing Pig"
Adams Rubble: neither did the Turtles
Riddle Sideways: however, Pink Floyd dad an entire album 'Animals'

Adams Rubble: back to the dancin pig
Riddle Sideways: Bongo Cat should be outlawed
Adams Rubble wonders how mindful they are being
Riddle Sideways: the bongo cat compilation might have some mindfulness
Riddle Sideways: or it shocks the viewer back to the need to be more mindful
Adams Rubble: the Cincinnati Dancin Pig does that well
