THERE'S A STOWAWAY

We had something rather unique happen yesterday, as we were leaving the Thousand Trails in the Jeep. We've been having a little trouble with the computer, (error messages), so we found a computer sales & service business in LaPine, and decided to take the computer there for a possible fix. After driving out of the campground, and about 1/2 mile down the road, suddenly, a chipmunk came out of the engine compartment, between the hood and the windshield. I pulled off the road, as the little critter ran back and forth at the bottom of the glass. It was raining, so the wipers were also going back and forth, which added to the confusion. Just as I got the camera out to record this crazy scene, the little guy, or maybe girl, jumped off the passenger side of the jeep, and scampered away from the road. At least it didn't get run over, but now, it was about 1/2 mile away from home. In the animal world, adaptability is the name of the game, so, hopefully, this cute little hitch-hiking chipmunk has found a new home! Oh yea, after running some tests on the computer, no red flags were found, and we picked it up late yesterday afternoon. We've had good luck with this Dell laptop, but it is over 5 years old, and in today's scheme of things, that's ancient. We have a good Sprint connection here, so if the blog stops for a day or two, the reason will be that we are either in transition to a new computer, or we're having this one updated with more memory and speed.
