You see that's how silly I am! I thought that was just drool coming from Jim's mouth!

Jim you are a riot. And I must admit apricots are exactly my favorites either.

I have a chipmunk story, too. When I was about seven, my parents took
us to Grand Canyon for easter vacation. Nearly froze our southern
California bejubbies off. One moment while there, I grabbed a chipmunk
and, of course, it bit me. I didn't tell my parents what I'd done, but
you can bet I was ne plus certain I would die of rabies before we got
back to a warmer clime.

And shame on you, Theresa. Apricots are one of the ten best fruits in
the whole wide world.

Oh- I have a great chipmunk story!  When I was a kid we had chipmunks
in the woods near us.  They used to come into the yard and literally
steal every single apricot off the trees (which was OK with me- I hate
apricots).  The tucked them into the notches of trees all over the
place!  You could look into the woods and see apricots in elm, willow,
oak, and maple trees.  It was a riot to watch them try to carry the
darned things away in their mouths.
