Too much bass for the monkeys


Victoria Falls

I’m sorry to report that my two Zimbabwean monkeys just had an accident.

Since I returned from Africa they’ve perched atop one of my stereo speakers in the den. I was just playing songs from “Share the Well” by Caedmon’s Call, and apparently the bass from the song “Volcanoland” jolted them from their position.

One fell over and the other plummeted to the floor. It’s a good five-foot drop, too. Luckily, they’re both made of wood.

A Zimbabwean monkey done in by an Ecuadorian song — how sad.

You’ll be happy to know that the stone hippo remains unshaken.

Speaking of Zimbabwe, here’s a photo I took of Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. This picture doesn’t do it justice. No picture can.
