Habitat Enrichment

Feb 27, 2025 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

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

Good Morning Krista!!

I've never believed I can be whatever I want to be, lol, too working class for that but I like the sentiment and the song sure sounds good

(referring to lyrics of You Can, We Can)

Mornin!

The sentiment is nice, and the song does sound really good.

good morning, TAndy

This is fantastic!

it's marlon williams, our hero, again

I Just did my OSHA Refresher course! OSHA is important!

Wow now I finally know where WHYY's Radio Times theme music comes from

Never knew this was a Paul Simon song

Lemme tell ya, I switched to 100% cotton t-shirts and I sweat much, much less than I used to. It's lovely. Synthetic fibers like Polyester claim to be moisture wicking but that is a lie! It holds in heat and cooks you alive!

I agree with you! I switched to all natural fibers and cotton is way more comfortable and linen is awesome too

I've been searching for linen, wool, and pure cotton in bulk bins at goodwill so long I am getting good at identifying it by feel and sight

silk vs satin still eludes me, I need the tag for that

80/20 blend good as it gets for me I jam econo.

@ Krista (host) Another outstanding show. Not only the fab music selections, but your staunch advocacy of everything worthy from small talk to OSHA. YouGo!

1.25 a pound, jim, that's how i buy my clothes

Mornin' Krista, et al! @Michael Y- thank you - it was driving me nuts- where had I heard this before!

Just heard a story about Paul Simon threatening his biographer, did not want the book written for some reason.

good morning, Readie and Michael.

Krista, I have yet to try linen but I look out for it when I'm in Goodwill or other thrift stores. Wool is definitely the best for winter!

I agree with Paul Simon

Say ... if your Dad has been a lifelong member of International Workers of the World (IWW), did he personally know folk music's most famous "wobbly," the late and truly great Dave Van Ronk?

Good morning, everyone:) Krista, that Rhythm of the Saints album is one of my all-time faves! And yes to natural fibers!

not IWW Richard, IBEW

My cousin used to work for a photographer in NYC, and apparently once talked to Paul Simon on the phone to set up a photo shoot. Pretty interesting that he did that himself!

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

@ Òysten Mar'shell Yes, Steely Dan composed and recorded "Only a Fool Would Say That" as a direct rejoiner to Lennon's "Imagine."

@ Krista (host) My misunderstanding, thanks for clarifying.

Michael, I bet Paul Simon just likes to chat, he seems like it. his own producers cut off his yapping in Graceland

Small talk!

a dreary gloomy little rainy grey day for your fave brand, hunter rain rubbery boots

good morning, Ossy

Dad also IBEW (ret.), & husband is UBC (carpenters). OSHA very important.

kris - one rainy weekend, saw lots of in various hunter colors aside the classic black and yellow (navy blue, lime green, scarlet red, hot pink, sky blue) haha etc

you should make a bingo card

I made a pigeons of nyc one with my kids and it was so much fun

rainy weekend bingo: drops dripping in the free space

Boot Bingo! That sounds great. I like wearing boots.

sounds squeaky rubbery fun, boots x bingo

Was never much for rubber rain boots at first, then public made more stylish, all ages alike!

Garden in hunter boots, while dressed athletic is another fun activity to do https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Gardening-In-Athletic-Style-1038665341

To build a fire!! Omg. Read that in 6th or 7th grade for english. So incredibly powerful and disturbing.

and informative about frostbite

did you read more jack london? I was a big time "dog book" reader so I stumbled in after the relatively less heartbreaking "Big Red" series by Jim Kjielgard

And the telepathic abilities of dogs?

I was imagining a telekinetic dog levitating a biscuit

I don't think so...we did the o Henry, jack London mini tour but it was decades ago.

Lol. Eventually they give up and grab it.

Anyway, great show. Wouldn't mind hearing a trucker song.

i couldn't take any more king rat

I needed to hear this reincarnation song from Tina Turner

@ christopher thacher Yes, me too, very much re: Jack London's "To Build a Fire."

That was the bagpipiest banjo song ever.

Oh heck yes.

if you think I'm losing time you're running late

That is a good trucker song! I also considered a CDL but changed jobs before I needed it.

I'm pretty sure Jerry Seinfeld has his CDL

I saw him perfectly park Aziz Ansari's tour bus on his car show

wow that is impressive. always have some admiration of those who can precisely operate massive vehicles.

my highway pet peeve is why don't the big campers have to have a CDL? not as heavy?

my cousin had to get one to drive city trucks

astounding

I think it is mostly about weight, but it feels like they should have an extra license for it!

thanks for another great show! enjoy the rest of this rainy Thursday!

have fun in the rubber hunters in the rain, kris
