Habitat Enrichment

Mar 7, 2024 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

good morning.
Dale Hazelton 7:08:27 AM
so who was this master who worked on a dairy farm and left to join a band?
Krista (host) 7:08:42 AM
and returned to the creamery, in the end
Krista (host) 7:08:53 AM
The Toolmaster of Brainerd
Dale Hazelton 7:11:48 AM
my brother had a small dairy farm in the 70s and 80s and i did my fair share of stacking hay up in the loft and milking etc.
TAndy 7:12:16 AM
Heya
Krista (host) 7:12:57 AM
my cousin has a small dairy farm (67 milking, rotated out) and I too spent a lot of time haying, feeding, etc. My first job was on a dairy farm at 13
Krista (host) 7:15:17 AM
hi TAndy
Krista (host) 7:18:23 AM
a song about requesting polka be played at one's funeral
Krista (host) 7:20:13 AM
I can't ever resist a novelty beverage at the grocery store, and I picked up "hydration cubes" from aldi. They smell intensely of Bubble Yum Watermelon, have a nice refreshing taste, and turn the water a distressing yellow
TAndy 7:20:47 AM
They dissolve in water?
Krista (host) 7:21:48 AM
Yes, 16 oz of water
Amy Lee 7:22:53 AM
Good morning all!

this year's iditarod gossip: a moose was "dispatched" (killed and gutted for eating later)
Krista (host) 7:28:17 AM
https://iditarod.com/dallas-seavey-penalized-for-rule-34-infraction-regarding-dispatch-of-moose/
Krista (host) 7:28:45 AM
rule 34 is officially: you may not dispatch moose without penalty
Dale Hazelton 7:31:05 AM
hooves of horn?

Krista (host) 7:41:50 AM
you're right about that, Dale. Those old machines are so thrilling and terrifying
Krista (host) 7:42:36 AM
I spent portions of my childhood with my sled tied to the back of a snow machine, being whipped around a snowy field by my daredevil 16 year old cousin (I was 6 or so)
Krista (host) 7:44:29 AM
hello Coffeemancer btw
Dale Hazelton 7:46:06 AM
i havea 70s john deere in my shed. haven't ridden it around the yard in years.
Dale Hazelton 7:46:36 AM
if i had the color matching jump suit that woud be something.
Krista (host) 7:48:50 AM
this is your year, Dale
Krista (host) 7:49:11 AM
I had a "heartbeat of america" hat that matched my old cavalier
Dale Hazelton 7:50:48 AM
my father worked for ford and i have a couple of 70s jackets with a racing strip down the left side with a cobra patch on the stripe. if only i was a 'small' again.
iamthelabhras 7:52:46 AM
Mornin' everyone!
Krista (host) 7:53:37 AM
good morning, iamthelabhras
iamthelabhras 7:57:11 AM
So happy you're back on the air, @Krista! Really been enjoying starting my Thursday mornings off with your broadcast. Things well with all the little ones? I trust *they* haven't been penalized for dispatching any moose?
TAndy 7:57:50 AM
Meese?
iamthelabhras 7:58:09 AM
I had he same thought, @TAndy.
iamthelabhras 8:02:01 AM
Limewire reference alert.
TAndy 8:05:02 AM
Flashback to when Limewire files infected my computer with a virus that corrupted Windows and set my background to a f'd up photo of Dick Cheney
Krista (host) 8:05:04 AM
my kiddos are doing well, all happy. Meyer has appointed himself defender of girls on the playground and has been in several scuffles
Krista (host) 8:05:17 AM
LOL TAndy
iamthelabhras 8:06:29 AM
Simpler times, @TAndy!
iamthelabhras 8:07:16 AM
@Krista Is Meyer the gentleman who challenged a woman to a fight in the supermarket? If so ... that kid's going places!
Krista (host) 8:08:04 AM
yes, he is, sigh. I try to raise a pacifist but I got a Meyer instead
Krista (host) 8:08:41 AM
"no one hurts girls when I'm around". The boys were tackling girls on the playground and he took umbrage
Ossy 8:09:07 AM

Krista (host) 8:12:39 AM
good morning, Ossy
Amy Lee 8:20:12 AM
Dale - I'm not really a gearhead, but I do like a good solid older Ford. Our '79 Bronco & my '89 F250 are beasts.
Dale Hazelton 8:33:49 AM
that paul evans was some great gothic country.
Dale Hazelton 8:35:05 AM
amy lee - yeah, those things are fairly easy to fix and/or update. as long as you can afford the gas...

Brian D 9:54:07 AM
Aaron should have written that wiki page about the pain of the bee sting. Just "AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH IT HURTS SO BAD! HE STUNG MEEE!". That would get the point across
Richard from Rocky Hill 9:54:19 AM
@ Krista (host) You mentioning a little critter that looks just like a bee but isn't, reminds me of the Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris spp.). Tall about a stunning example of convergent evolution! When I first saw one around a friend's flower beds, looked closer and relaized it was an insect and not a bird ... wow!
Brian D 9:54:23 AM
Here. And. Suggested.
Christine 9:54:49 AM
✨️ 🐝
Brian D 9:55:23 AM
Hummingbirds are amazing yes. Like flying shrew/ insect hybrids
Christine 9:57:23 AM
I saw a hummingbird moth in a garden in Ireland. I really thought it was a hummingbird at first! Ireland doesn't have hummingbirds, I found out.
Krista (host) 9:58:12 AM
strange that the moths are there, Christine!!
Amy Lee 9:58:44 AM
Whatever else I come across today, It's gonna be difficult to top the newly acquired knowledge of castrated moose.
Amy Lee 9:59:38 AM
Thx Krista! Always look forward to your show!
