Ocean, wildlife, birds, dogs.

A couple of observations on day 4 post cataract surgery: 1. I’m kicking myself. For not getting this done years ago. 2. It’s nice to be outside whiteout all the light refracting in my eyeball. 3. Holy shit, I look 8 years older when I look in the mirror.

The Cooper’s Hawk is back again today. This video was shot through the screen door. Prior to this, I left my truck door open for a few minutes & when I came back there was a bird in the back seat. I think he was escaping the under bird. #birds

This afternoon, a Cooper’s Hawk was wreaking havoc in my backyard. I don’t know if he caught anything, but this you goldfinch hit the window in a panic. I made it the usual towel bed, gave it water & let it rest. It recovered & flew off after an hour. #birds

You may have noticed in the credits that one of the producers was someone named Allan Sandler. I checked to see if he was related to Adam. Adam’s father’s middle name is Alan, but there is no “link” between them. Get it? 😂 Thank you. I’m here ‘til Thursday.Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp was a short-lived but memorable 1970-71 American spy-comedy series on ABC that starred chimpanzees in all roles, with their voices dubbed by human actors. The show parodied spy shows like Get Smart, following secret agent Lancelot Link and his partner Mata Hairi as they fought the evil organization C.H.U.M.P. (Criminal Headquarters for Underworld Master Plan). A key feature was the musical group “Evolution Revolution,” which served as a plot device for coded messages. Premise: A world of intelligent chimpanzees where Lancelot Link works for A.P.E. (Agency to Prevent Evil) to stop the villainous Baron Von Butcher and C.H.U.M.P. Production: The show was live-action, with chimps in costumes, and featured human voice actors like Dayton Allen and Bernie Kopell. The dialogue was often ad-libbed to match the chimps’ mouth movements, leading to surreal moments. Musical element: The “Evolution Revolution” was a psychedelic rock band of chimps that appeared in musical segments, often used to transmit coded messages. Format: It aired on Saturday mornings, with episodes often containing two 10-minute stories and a music video. Legacy: Despite its short run of 17 episodes, it became a cult classic, remembered for its unique concept, high production cost, and bizarre charm.
