Monkeys have 24 chromosome pairs, where humans have only 23. Does that make us devolved-monkeys? </p><p>So why haven’t monkeys evolved? They’re definitely not stupid. Charles Darwin once said, <em>“An American Monkey after getting drunk on Brandy would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men.”</em></p><p align="center"><strong>Monkeyshines</strong></p><p align="left">Preserving our lives from monkeyshines is not only important for us but also for others who depend on us. As human beings we should always act fittingly and maintain a proper watch over our ways. Unfortunately, some of us choose to keep on keeping on with our same old monkey-business. I know I will never understand how some monkey’s swing nor do I need to. </p><p align="center"><strong>Blue Contacts </strong></p><p align="left">A Tomfoolery really can’t be <em>true-blue</em> friend. It’s as if they are always looking for a way to steal the show and our bananas. Sure we could talk until we were <em>blue</em> in the face; but as long as they hang out with that old organ grinder, forget about having a discussion. Once in a <em>blue moon</em> they might change. Unfortunately, it’s because they have taken a beating that leaves them <em>black and blue</em> or have ended up being caught between the devil and the <em>deep blue sea</em>. </p><p align="left"><em>“We've heard that a million monkeys at a keyboard could produce the Complete Works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.”</em> -Robert Wilensky</p><div align="center"></div><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zsiXcDJ-d1A/TYVPu2k7uDI/AAAAAAAAADg/Vz0wO9d2TYc/s1600/monkey_evolution.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 245px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585958579165968434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zsiXcDJ-d1A/TYVPu2k7uDI/AAAAAAAAADg/Vz0wO9d2TYc/s320/monkey_evolution.jpg" /></a><br />I’m not big on being judgmental and am well aware that when I’ve decided to judge, the judgment falls on me. However, monkey business should cause our soul-detectors to go off and make our minds seem like a chattering, cymbal-banging monkey. Nevertheless, we need not sing the blues. We just need to be aware and be able to discern through a monkeyshine’s dubious and deceptive activity. Maybe even visualize (see-monkeys) as wearing sunglasses to avoid becoming hypnotized into a state of mimickery “monkey see monkey do. “There may even come a time to give up on some baboons and cross those monkey bars. Let Go… Grab On…Move Forward. Ooo…Ooo…Eee…Eee…Ahh…Ahh!!! </p><p align="center"><strong>Holy Mistakes</strong> </p><p>Remember in prayer the many that are sick <em>of</em> our community (wink). We have a lot to be thankful for because when we turn on our televisions the news is not about emergency routes for leaving our towns. </p><p>Gregrilla</p><p>PS –For my sister who has lost 35 lbs. attending Weight Watchers.
