A Couple Chipmunks Startled The Heck Out Of Me Today!

I was spending the afternoon working on some repairs to an outbuilding on my property. I was barefoot, as usual. Several times I had to go back to my shop for tools or other supplies. On one trip back to my shop, I was almost to the side door & reaching for the door knob when there was a flash of movement near my feet & at the same time I felt my bare foot step on something hard. What had happened was, two chipmunks were chasing each other & came around the corner just as I got there. One of them ran right under my bare foot & I stepped on it's head! Startled, I jumped & let out a yelp..... well, I felt like it was more like a little girl letting out a scream! I'm glad there was no one else around. I was embarrassed enough at myself, without anyone else seeing my reaction!

The chipmunk population around here has gotten way out of control. I can see 4-5 any time I look around outside my house & they have been digging holes everyplace. I've declared war on those little bastards & I'm killing every one I can!

 

Blimey! I've never seen a chipmunk in my life! Bet they're not singing "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" either!

 

You're lucky someone didn't record that and put it on youtube...

 

did it go "aaaalviiiiin?"

 

hahahahahaha

 

Lol
It's funny that you say that! The reason is that back in high school days or shortly thereafter, I somehow acquired the nickname, Alvin. I still have a friend that calls me that.
