I stepped outside to shake the sand out\nof my shoes when I beheld a chipmunk in a branch over my head. He was\neating a mushroom! Holding the stem with his claws and nibbling the\ncap like a Kesey madman! Tiny chunks flew away as he nibbled. I\ndidn’t know chipmunks ate mushrooms. How delighted I was to observe\nthis. I clapped! I am no mushroom expert, but the mushroom in\nquestion looked psychedelic in nature. Yes, it was a magic mushroom! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chipmunk and I have been buddies\nfor some time. I leave out water and feed him cheerios and crusts. He\nmakes the most wonderful shrilling sound to announce his appearance\nin the tree near my domicile. I always say hello to him. I have not\nyet named him. Leroy? Fred? Jimmy? \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what does a chipmunk do after eating\na magic mushroom? This question might inspire a fantastic idea for a\nfreaky children’s book, groovy animated film, spacey song, or off\nBroadway show. I know I certainly want to collaborate with the\nchipmunk when he’s tripping. I think I might set up the typewriter\nand let him scat across the keys and write pure gold…or set out\nsome parchment paper, some ink pads, and let the chipmunk make art!\nOr a battery-powered keyboard and let him rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the way I entertain myself\nthese days. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
