I had to have exterminators, a year or two ago, come and get rid of them when they infested my house. Cost a fortune. I live in an area where they are fairly common. Some info and pictures: http://www.termite.com/termites/termites-nebraska.htmlQueen: 2000 eggs a day. Soldiers: fight ants and have been doing so for 250 million years, according to this article.

Driving miles and miles up the I-5, watching the changing scenery, I often tried to compose haiku about what I was seeing. I have gotten better in form, but it's still just two sticky note pads of scribbles.
It is hard to drive and write your thoughts on a tiny pad of paper on the steering wheel! All those people texting keep trying to run into me!

I do have a recorder but, ya know, it's just not the same as writing the words on paper and moving them around to make it sound nice. You's still have to transcribe at some point. Besides that little pad of sticky notes has brought many comments from passengers.

Besides that little pad of sticky notes has brought many comments from passengers. And as a teacher I sure do welcome that comment. There is certainly nothing like writing words on paper. Too much techno-communicating out there, cheapening communication.

I use mechanical pencils because I am really cheap and that way I don't have to constantly buy a new sharpener for the one I can't find. *lol*
