Habitat Enrichment

Mar 14, 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!
TAndy 7:11:07 AM
Good morning, Krista. I worry for the fact that Sunn O))) was played directly before your show, and may have scared off every single listener.
Krista (host) 7:11:41 AM
haha, more like Sun NO)))
Krista (host) 7:11:54 AM
sweet emma will lure em back
TAndy 7:12:51 AM
Lured me back because I never left |:)
Krista (host) 7:14:13 AM
I was doing a metal survey, trying to trick my synapses into appreciating the art form and Sunn O was one of the ones that wasn't so bad
Amy Lee 7:18:59 AM
Good morning!
Krista (host) 7:19:26 AM
good morning, Amy Lee!
Dale Hazelton 7:40:49 AM
morning. split firewood all day yesterday and slept like a log last night. (that isn't intended to be a joke.)
Krista (host) 7:41:38 AM
splitting firewood is hard work! I was always on stacking duty
TAndy 7:42:56 AM
i lvoe this song
Dale Hazelton 7:52:25 AM
always fun to encounter that one round from the base with an ant colony in it.
Amy Lee 7:55:49 AM
All production stops when I find an ant colony. Prob why I'm far better with kindling & lg branch breaking duty.
Amy Lee 7:57:24 AM
(cause I'll watch the ants for a bit too long until I let the birds have at it).
Krista (host) 7:58:12 AM
I used to love to reach into the woodpile for kittens. My grandma had a colony of semi feral cats who made the woodpile their castle

pizza pie is also accepted
Dale Hazelton 8:03:03 AM
amy lee - the architecture they leave behind is pretty fascinating.
TAndy 8:03:23 AM
Pizza pie is the top of the order, Sir.
Dale Hazelton 8:03:36 AM
krista - that's a cool memory.
Brian D 8:04:59 AM
Grape pie. NY state Finger Lakes thing. Had no idea about them. Tried one in Naples, NY once. So good. Think like grape jelly grape. Total grape country that area (Canandaigua Lake)
Krista (host) 8:07:45 AM
that sounds like a pie worth making a trip for, Brian.
Dale Hazelton 8:10:55 AM
town i grew up in (silver creek ny) had a grape festival every fall. sister in law was murray hose no.1 queen one year but wasn't voted festival queen sadly. we sometimes were pulled out of school to pick the concords at harvest time, something no school district would allow today.
Krista (host) 8:13:41 AM
I grew up eating the wild grapes that grew along the sides of the fields at my grandma's house. I've never found their taste again, and my aunt pulled them all out

Oh, to have been able to try a 'lude in its heyday
Amy Lee 8:23:31 AM
Love this!
Krista (host) 8:25:41 AM
my lower lip is sweating just thinking of playing this, maintaining that embouchre is difficult for almost 8 straight minutes of playing
Dale Hazelton 8:25:48 AM
i did a half a quaalude a couple times in the 70s. things seemed really funny and then you crashed. the funny part was fun anyway.
Krista (host) 8:31:15 AM
wish I coulda seen Pixies in the early 90s. Even as a 3 year old I would have loved it, I'm sure.
Mike Lupica 8:34:39 AM
At risk of showing my age, I saw the Pixies in 1989 and it was one of the most horrifically boring shows of my life. The most exciting thing that happened on stage was when Kim Deal smoked a cigarette, otherwise it was like watching four mannequins.
Krista (host) 8:34:59 AM
that's a comfort, Mike
Krista (host) 8:35:41 AM
I'd watch Kim Deal do anything tbh

gonna take my leave and do some outsidedy things. have a great day.

Poor naughty kitty. 😸 Morning Krista & all
Krista (host) 8:52:40 AM
have fun, Dale. Good morning, Christine

I forgot how much I hate bugs
Krista (host) 8:53:34 AM
the ticks are out, bleh
Ossy 8:54:13 AM
And scary bees, wasps, hornets etc...stinky!
Brian D 8:54:26 AM
I call b.s. Pixies still put on a great show right now
Krista (host) 8:56:49 AM
bees, wasps, and hornets have facial recognition! if you're good to them they will be good to you. When they approach hold SO still. Unless it's a moose botfly masquerading as a bumblebee. Then, cover your eyes and RUN
Ossy 8:58:13 AM
Oh WOW 🥶🥶🥶
Amy Lee 9:00:18 AM
Yellowjackets, however, are just a-holes in the bug world. There was a vote.
Hüsker Mök 9:01:31 AM
i was cutting some heavy brush and got swarmed by yellowjackets. that was fun
Christine 9:02:15 AM

Ossy 9:03:25 AM
asian giant hornets will make you faint upon looking at them!
Brian D 9:04:21 AM
Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass do a great version of Merle Haggard's "I'll Break Out Again Tonight" as does Merle of course
Krista (host) 9:11:02 AM
I'll take a listen, Brian. I don't think I've heard it. Roger Knox is my introduction to that song, strangely enough
Krista (host) 9:15:04 AM
imagine receiving the nickname "nighthawk", how amazing
Christine 9:17:24 AM
That is a killer nickname.
Christine 9:35:44 AM
That sounds like a human cope for having a smaller brain/body ratio than tree shrews. 😄
