   I learn something new every day. Today it is the straight poop on insect $hit.

   I use a Havahart trap to relocate “critters” like chipmunks and squirrels. Use shelled peanuts for bait. The traps come in several sizes, but the small Havahart 1020 model ($20) works fine for squirrels.

   We recently visited our daughter who moved to St. Petersburg in Florida. She took us to see her friend in Treasure Island nearby. About a block away from the friend’s home was a sign with an arrow and large text “Evacuation Route”. No thank you.

   I remember playing (the original?) PONG.

   I commented on this earlier (above) and wrote that it is more likely just a coincidence because of the many years between the series and the song. I wonder what Stevens would say about this. I would bet he has never even heard of Chickenman.

   I spent a few hours trying to find out more about where to find episodes. I did find I could listen to some episodes free on Amazon Music. There seems to be no complete source of ALL the episodes of both series. I got confused because the were hundreds of episodes and there were references to different “Volume albums” like Volume 1 or other numbers. I wish there was some kind of episode list. I fear that most of the episodes may be lost, which seems strange. These were not from that long ago (the 60’s and 70’s). we are talking about RADIO, not video. Hard to believe there are not recordings in total somewhere.

   Not too likely because the song was released in 1985 and Chickenman ended its run almost 20 years earlier. I am not insinuating that Stevens “stole” that line. It is much more likely a coincidence.

   That was a catch phrase (he’s everywhere, he’s everywhere!") for a radio series “Chickenman” that was hilarious and addictive. It was written and voiced by Dick Orkin who also did a series “The Secret Adventures of the Tooth Fairy”. Both were played on a Chicago radio station and I lived in upstate New York. I could only get to hear an episode (AM frequency) when the atmospheric conditions were right, This was in the 60’s and 70’s.

   I have found it seemingly IMPOSSIBLE to find any “food” that does not warn of potentially serious side effects if you consume too much.
