Forcing myself to post.

Having kind of a terrible week at work (holy gods is it only tuesday?), uninspired to write positive things. Spent more than two hours in the animal shelter surrender line, hearing horrible sad stupid stories about why people can't keep their beloved pets.

Change in the seasons is making dog ticks appear and making coworkers and zoo guests lose their collective minds.


Hey what's wrong with this picture? A possibly related question: why does mosquito control require me to cover myself in filthy water?

On a positive note, thanks to you nice people who donated to my charity bike ride, you rule!

I had a dream that you came to my house and left me a variety of dried mushrooms, and books on how to cook them.

Over the winter months I foster mosquito larvae in my "rain barrel" in the bacement. The water serves to water my plants (especially my carnivorous plants and my moss) and the mosquito larve do a great job keeping the water fresh. I'd also collected some "pond water" last autumn with a mind to raise cyclops and ostracods. The water was growing an oily film and looking scummy until I dumped some mosquito larvae into it. The mosquitoes cleared the water right up. When the mosquitoes enter the third stage of their development I feed them to my white cloud mountain minnows. The minnows in turn provide me with plant food for my non-carnivorous plants.

oh, man, spending time in the animal surrender line sounds sad and terrible!

Consider your dousing in filthy water as a sacrifice to the mosquito god to leave you alone?
