Ticks
Are all over the news lately.
So, based on the time I spend out hiking and in the woods I do take precautions.
Permethrin on pants and tick check every time i venture out.
That being said, I have no idea on what happened yesterday.
Yesterday was busy, I didn't have time to spend outside. It was a long day and when I got
home I changed into sweats, put a load of laundry in , had some diner and took a long shower.
Retired to bed and scrolled the internet before shutting off the light.
Maybe 20-30 mins later I felt something on my arm.
In the dark I felt a little bump with my finger.
Didn't think anything of it, maybe a beetle or just random bug.
I picked it up and turned on the light. A fucking tick. No way.
He was dispatched readily. Good riddance.
For the next hour every little feeling on my skin was investigated.
So. The quandry...
No outdoors time since the day before.
No pets currently at my living arrangements.
All laundry done and washed.
A long hot shower.
Fucker was there.
I have no idea. Other than this:
There have been legislators escorted from the State House floor by Alabama State Troopers, protesters demonstrating outside, etc. These protesters are upset about the states new redistricting lines. Then there are the antics of some of these representatives and senators who fear losing their seats and all the personal benefits that go with said seat. The cry is racism, Jim Crow, slave/master, etc. It was not racist when they had the "big end of the stick", but now that the lines have been re-drawn to accurately and legally define each district, it appears some of these career politicos and at least one Congress critter may lose their seat(s). It is also interesting to see the RINOS go to great lengths to appear as being "anti-racial" and making amends and excuses. Knowing the nature of career politicians, I predict some of these will probably cave before this said and done. Below are a couple of the "entertaining" episodes. I truly pity the folks who suffer under such incompetent representation.
