The Tick
There is one downside to living on a nice wooded lot in North Carolina. Getting ready for bed last night, I found this girl munching on my leg:
She is safely preserved (and, apparently endowed by her vampiric nature with indestructibility and immortality, still alive) in a Ziploc baggie should I come down with anything in the next few weeks.
I have to say I'm amazed by what I can do with this $60 Epson scanner (model 3490). I bought it to scan book covers for my librarything catalog, but the ability to scan at 4800dpi obviously has its uses, too.

I absolutely HATEHATEHATE ticks. Nasty, disgusting creatures with no ecological benefit whatsoever that I'm aware of. I don't like mosquitoes either, but I understand that lots of other critters -- bats, frogs, etc., feed on them, so that's at least something. But ticks? Ugh.
