Walks and Skunks

Things have been really quiet in my life as of late. Despite having to look for a new place to live, getting ready for Vegas and then Europe soon after, things have been pretty calm. My usual schedule consists of going to work, coming home and walking through Griffith Park with Roomie, talking with Roomie, making dinner and going to bed. Very “It’s Oh So Quiet”. Friday night as Roomie and I were walking through Griffith Park, we saw a bunch of Special Events parking people and an unusual amount of car traffic. We started thinking it was some sort of sporting event, but then what sporting event would be hosted in Griffith Park? Then I realized the Greek Theater is close by. So who could be playing? There were a lot of white people, particularly the trashy ones who would really have no reason to come to the park. I thought Lynard Skynard was playing. We turn the corner and walk up to the theater. It was the Allman Brothers. So I guess I wasn’t too far off. Yes. This is what has been capturing my interest lately. Yawners! Also, we’ve sort of “adopted” a skunk that’s been coming by recently. Most of you know by now that we get a decent amount of wildlife traffic through our kitchen where we keep the cats’ food. Several months ago, I saw THE MOST to’ up skunk eating the food. Not tore up. To’ up. It was missing quite a bit of its fur, so it look more pink and brown that the standard black and white. About a month ago we noticed that it was still hobbling around: its right hind leg is broken. So we assume it got hit by a car. Yes I cannot stand these creatures, but I genuinely feel bad for this one. So when he comes in, we just let him eat the food. This past week, I’ve been sitting at the kitchen table as it enters, about 2 feet away. Poor thing. I’m calling him Little Chairman Mao or Mao-Mao for short. I can’t help it. He’s still very petrified of us and has his stink glands working. So such is my life as of late. I really do need to get out more.
