Making a sammy on my lunch break and Emawnk comes darting around in the kitchen, no idea how he got out but he's currently loose somewhere in my house.

Last spotting was under a couch but when I moved the couch I couldnt find him....Have set a trail of nuts/fruit leading back to his container and hope he returns soon.

Will be releasing him back in the wild tonight assuming I am able to capture him, will take plenty of pics.

Conversation earlier between me an my brother who lives in the basement

Ben ji- FYI keep an eye out for EMAWnk upstairs, he escaped today and I have not found him yet.

Brother- He's in the vent again, just heard him rustling around

Ben ji- Which one

Brother- Dont know, it could of been one of the ones from the living room or the spare bedroom.

Ben ji- (sigh) alright (Tries to determine which of 3 vent shafts he could of entered but cant hear him moving) (sets up homemade ladder's in 3 different vents)

i took on a swarm (?) of wasps last night in my backyard.  the few that escaped will be telling stories for generations of how i systematically destroyed their way of life and everyone that they cared about.

My dog tried to catch a medium sized frog.  It immediately started foaming at the mouth (the dog) and shaking it's head and throwing foam all over the place.  Frog appears unharmed.

When I lived in Texas (I was 6), I came a crossed a dead lizard and snake that had ripped each other apart for a final showdown over territory. The neat thing, there was a bunch of baby snakes swarming around the scene. Must have been the mother. It was a cool thing to see for a 6 year old.  :love:

I was just laying in bed and I heard a noise which I thought was coming from the wall.  Sounded like something scurrying around in a vent or something at first.  So i got up and went into the hallway and listened.  Then I heard a noise that sounded like something running around on the roof.  I have cathedral ceilings which follow the roof line so no attic.  I went out the front door and as soon as I turned around I saw two raccoons staring at me from the roof.  I said "what are you guys doing up there?" and they ran to the other side of the roof where I couldn't see them.  I went back inside and they ran around for another 5 minutes or so and then I guess they got off because I haven't heard them for a while.  What are they doing up there?

Sure enough, i get home on my lunch break, start to make a sammy and whooosh, EMAWnk comes running into the kitchen.

Chased him around for about 10 minutes and finally captured him by throwing a towel over him. Took him out side and EMAWnk was set free.

Phenomenal. I'm glad there wasn't some sort of twist where once you released him a hawk swooped down and grabbed him.
