Victory Over the Squirrels

I think I've become victorious over the squirrels. I have two bird feeders. One is on a pole. The other hangs from a tree limb. I need to move the one on the limb. Nothing I've tried keeps the squirrels out of it. I put very little food in it, just enough to keep the birds interested.

The one on the pole finally seems to be okay. After months of trying different things, I attached a slinky to the pole at the bottom of the feeder. Now, when they try to climb it, they have to grab the slinky and end up riding it all the way down to the ground in defeat. Muahahaha! It's been a few weeks, and the food doesn't run out any more.

Scary Phone Call

The other day I had gotten out of the shower and was drying off when my cell phone rang. Being still partly wet, I couldn't get to it. I wasn't worried since I would be calling the person back within minutes. I finished drying off, got dressed and checked to see who it was. It was from my land line. But I was home alone...

I've seen that movie! I can't remember the name of it. It was black and white. This woman was home alone and kept getting these scary calls. It went on for a long time then the phone company, I think, told her the call was coming from inside her house.

When I saw the call had come from inside my house when I was supposed to be alone, I tried not to freak. But I remembered that movie that I saw something like 30 years ago. I sneaked out the side door and checked the driveway. Through some bushes I could make out the front of a truck but couldn't tell if anyone was in it. I went back inside and called somebody to let them know what was happening. Then I went out the front door.

A couple of days before that I had had a problem with the phone and called the phone company. The call from the land line was from a guy out checking the phone line. He had hooked into the box outside and called from there making it look like it was from inside. Phew! Of course, I didn't tell him about that movie. I never mentioned how weird his call was. I pretended like everything was cool. :)
