Le moderne tick picking equipment

<

You may not think much about getting ticks or chiggers when you are out in nature but this is a reality in much of the tropical and temperate world. Definitely in the southern US.

Here we have embodied the ideal device - it even has a little built in seat - where a person can inspect hisorherownself before slipping blissfully into hot bubbling whirling tick- and chigger-defying water.

Rusticity has its limits.

This tub will be installed about 1.5 feet up from the floor so that I can contemplate nature while bathing.

Do you believe in witching wells?

So its back to a plan where a well digger will dig a shallow well. I have been told to get a well witcher to locate where the water well should be dug. Frankly, this sounds like so much geo-mental hoooey to me so I pressured a believer who is also a scientist to give me the scientific, geological underpinnings. But there aren't any. Apparently you are just supposed to believe. That brings out my skepticism.

So help me believe. I want to believe.

Today I'll be relentless in the pursuit of wood, water and helpers. Maybe set up a work weekend in 2 weeks. Doesn't October 7th sound nice to be up in the hills?

Chigger bites are what happens when you don't use bug spray and you get into a nest of them, Poor sonny.
