More Karma

Jeezo, you do a good deed and you literally get shat on!

Following on from the Squirry the Squirel post, I decided I had been a bit hard on the little fella, threatening to kill him and all :-)

So, as a peace offering (and to lead him into a false sense of security, if need be in the future!) I decided to leave him some trail mix that I didn't want, on my balcony. Lo and behold, the other week, he turned up and ate the nuts as I watched him from about a metre away.

Just been out on my balcony - its been raining all day, so I thought I'd check on the water level of the stream. And the wall on the balcony has a few squirrel 'pellets' left on them!

It reminds me of something that happened when I used to work shifts. I was on a night shift on an incredibly cold night, and an old tramp had chosen the door way of the company I worked for as his bed for the night. I decided it might be a good idea to give him a few cups of tea to keep him warm through the night - I didn't exactly fancy stepping over his frozen body when I left in the morning. My boss came in at 8am, moaning about the ocean of p!ss in the doorway. Ho Hum

It has to be said, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' So be selfish, then crap happens, you can calmly think 'I deserved a bit of that'.

just a metre away eh? well you must have the confidence of the little fella, so, when bbq season starts we know wot will be the main course...............you could always roast it on a spit, would cook lovely then.
