     I would like to talk about habits. Good or bad everyone has habits. By its very name a habit is an action that is carried out of must be carried out as a result of a stimulus which could be anything at all. Think back 30 or 40 years when more than 50% of the population smoked, I know its hard to believe but its true, and what happened right after a meal everyone would LIGHT UP. People would do the same thing after having sex, too.

     Some peoples habits may be an annoyance to others, like smoking, while others should be annoyed by their own habits. Habits that have taken over their very lives. Freakish things like always putting only three globs of ketchup on their hotdogs or subsisting on nothing but Christmas fruit cake.

     I know, your asking yourself what in the hell does that have to do with the price of Tea in China. Well let me tell you that some people I know have a habit of rolling themselves up in the bed sheets and throwing them off and then rolling up in the bed sheets and then throwing them off. This habit is not a problem if you are sleeping alone but I am sure your partner is frustrated with unwittingly being forced into your NOCTURNAL THERMAL EXPERIMENTS.

     So, we headed out to Robert's Lake foe some sticky buns. Sticky buns the size of  Scabby Baby's Head, as one Newfie Mom put it. Here's a shot of Couch Monkey #1 standing next to what is probably the last telephone booth north of Campbell River. There is also one of the local pooch. It looks like something out of Berkeley Breathed's book "FLAWED DOGS". 

     One more pic shows one of our common forest denizens - the common banana slug. But this one is just a baby. You have to look close at the rim of the glass. Couch Monkey #2 had just taken a drink out of this cup whrn his friend was spotted.
