"Damage caused by house centipedes. House centipedes feed on small insects, insect larvae, and on spiders. Thus they are beneficial, though most homeowners take a different point-of-view and consider them a nuisance. Technically, the house centipede could bite, but it is considered harmless to people." https://hortnews.extension.iastate.edu/house-centipede

You did the right thing, ghostrek.

That's why you do a walk through with the landlord or agent, take pictures and have the landlord/agent sign and date them, then you keep them for move out.

Alice Polka Sally called when she got the word She said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice" Well I rushed to the window And I looked outside But I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive... Oh, I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice... {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials Deep in the bark Me and Alice Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment, I caught her eye As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice... {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Sally called back, asked how I felt She said: "I know how to help - Get over Alice" She said: "Now Alice is gone But I'm still here You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years..." And the big limousine disappeared... I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice... {Alice? Who the hell is Alice?} Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

300,000 runners end up with lovely parting gifts...

Be prepared. You'll have to go out for the traditional "Garter catch". A check is never a bad gift, unless you can't afford something $100 or above. Pay attention - you may have been invited because someone who's going to be there "thinks your cute" and told the Bride to be, so take note if you get introduced to someone. Or it could just be an age difference thing, too many older guys/younger women mismatches for the dancing segment of the party. Oh, and have something in mind to say if they do that "say something to the Bride & Groom" video things.

Don't "need" nuffin.

Echoes - Pink Floyd, to the empty funeral home.

Can't here, unless we replant it every year. FYI - bees go nuts over Catmint, but be careful, the stuff takes over gardens without occasional trimming back.

"...they're the 'mobbed up' stone-aged family."

We've tried to set up a real Butterfly & Bee draw. Bee Balm, Coneflowers, Sunflowers, Lavender, the various milkweeds, and other suggested flowering plants. One female monarch has been buzzing the place along with a Red Admiral. Last year, we had a lot of Cabbage Butterflies & apparently a few monarchs.

Throbbing Gristle

Did you see/meet any Crackers?

I temporarily fixed a hole in an exhaust pipe with an empty tennis ball can & 2 "U" clamps. Pretty much rusted thru in a couple weeks.

Reminded me of this -

Was able to release 12 of 13 last year. This year so far, only had one caterpillar. It went chrysalis and was a butterfly in 8 days instead of 14. It might have been because this is the first year the Common Milkweed grew and the caterpillar had munched his way through three of those big leaves. Otherwise, we've got Swamp & Purple Milkweeds. Very few butterfly visitors, lots of bumblebees, some wasps, some hornets and yesterday a Queen (honey) bee & two honey bees.

Suuurrrrreeee the did.

Spinoff cartoons.

Fluff Busting Purity (FBP) - you can block/turn off/hide all sorts of stuff. You can even block by words, so say you have extremely partisan friends (like me on both sides of the aisle) who constantly use far left/far right websites to "prove" their bs ideas, just type in the name of the website & you'll never see it again.

So that local Gov't members can surreptitiously water their lawns at night while there's water restrictions in effect, then fine the regular folks because their lawns are brown. Then again, this was in Florida...

Thing is, from the shows that get near to Area 51, the security doesn't look military (too out of shape) - they look more like they might be Haliburton types.

We have this in Chicago, so we win!
