I think that this is where all kinds of stuff goes.

Not even mighty caffeine is strong enough to keep me on this hill . . . \n\nIn fact – it is high time that I allow my slumping head to follow my slumping shoulders straight to the floor – where I will then curl into a ball and dream forever more of sheep and marshmallows and puffy clouds.\n\nOh crumbs! \n\nI forgot . . . I\’m all kinds of at the job. No sleeps for me.

Hooray for baby squirrels that carry signs!

The little photo below ended up on cuteoverload.com . . . a site about really cute things – which a baby squirrel is . . . very cute.

Here is the link:  Cute Overload Link!

Too bad that they cropped the image – and didn’t link back to here – but hey – me and the baby squirrel aren’t really all that choosey. We just enjoyed reading the comments.

Yeah – that is right – I took the baby squirrel in as my potential secretary . . . so – on a break – we read some internets . . . good – good times.

Here is a hot hot tip.

I was walking the dog (Irving Brown Socks) around the block this morning – and was stunned to find the tiniest of political rallies underway . . . and it was all happening on my street! I’m not really sure what pulled this baby squirrel over to Obama’s side . . . but I really feel like it is some sort of solidarity with the baby wolf contingent from the far up north – evidently he isn’t much of a fan of Palin . . . something about helicopters – or something . . .

Anyway – while we here on the Bumperblog are hesitant to stick our necks into the deep end of the political pool . . . it is good to know that this tiny woodland creature sees this as an important election – and it’s also pretty interesting that he is nuts for Obama.

Have a swell day.

Baby Squirrel for Obama

Today – finally – after seven months of not even having my Tivo, I figured out that I was still paying for the service. Quick and decisive action was required . . . the madness had to stop. A call was placed to the great Tivo gods in the sky and criminy . . . but were they arm twisters.

“Are you sure you don’t want to keep your service?”
“Is there another room where you would like to use your Tivo?”
“Why don’t you get rid of that crummy other service and keep the Tivo that loves you?”

Twice I was transferred – and with everyone I talked to – the pushy desperation continued – it was almost too much. I seriously almost flipped my lid. All that I wanted to do was cancel my service and all they wanted was my dough.

The worst part of the whole thing is that it is totally sad – because I very much love my old Tivo – and miss it’s noises and the way that it asks me if maybe I would like to watch this or that . . . the new Fios DVR does the basic job – but is kind of like eating vegan brownies . . . way not as good.

One day – I will go back to the good brownies – and that day will be a good day.
