Does anyone know if the visiting monkeys were offered coffee... or perhaps a danish? The host could be at fault here.

You may be on to something there Beck. A scone with jam offered up in a nice voice might have been a lifesaver!

Coffee and scones?!?!?!? What are you people thinking? Hasn't your experience with wildlife taught you anything?

They were obviously after his beer.

Ahh, yes. Breakfast beer! I've heard of that!

They were displaced undocumented lice-pickers, demanding free food, a union job and probably a scholarship too.

As these monkeys are worshipped and revered, they took advantage and "overthrew" him because he didn't speak their language.

Coffee and scones?......probably wanted Juan Valdez and got Folgers.

Hey Linda, you folks in the Heartland sure know how to call 'em as you 'em. Love it!

Scary story,monkeys can be really nasty. Don't get off track on rabbits though, what about Maine mosquitoes and black flies? Just because it's been a relatively dry year we can get lulled into a sense of no problem. A couple rain storms and we can all be bled dry by the tiny vampires.

There are some pretty scary rabbits in the Maine woods....why up around West Carey pond shelter, there's a privey rabbit that is in cahoots with the attack owl!! Keep your eyes peeled out there!!
