So Chuck has befriended a chipmunk. I guess he began by talking to him through the screen door. Scolded him for eating through a garbage bag. Then offered him some boiled peanuts in the shell that we bought at the flea market. I guess Chip liked them. Kept coming back for more. Finally a day comes when Chuck looks out and notices that the little guy has brought him a gift in return. Laid it right there where the peanuts had been. A flower bulb. A gift. An exchange. Intentional. Keeps happening. Peanuts for bulbs. Our drummer's reaction… "INTENSE, man!"
