I actually like insects; either I find them aesthetically interesting or they don't bother me.

That's a good thing, I reckon. They don't all bother me--I even find some of them sort of cute*--but some of them disturb me. It's not very rational, I know. I do manage to not lash out at them without thinking, for the most part.**

But I understand why other people don't agree.

Thanks.

I didn't write it, but I will enthusiastically endorse it!

And well you should. If there were any rum in the house, I'd be trying it.

It's still snowing here. And I am still shoveling.

I hope it's not enough to be unpleasant.

*I mind one day in a barn with a friend (It must have been nearly fourteen years ago or more, when I still had a horse.) when she pointed out that a little leafhopper (Or at least I think that's what it was.) was using parallax to judge how far it was from a hay bale to her own face.
**I find it disturbing that so many people do, which is probably a result of my growing up round Buddhists and Hindus.
