Ticks, tick me off.
One of my shipmates got Lyme disease.
In Chucks case I am on the ticks side too.
What always strikes me is that when you drive through Chicagblo, there is not a decent strech of road to be found and there are toll booths every 50 feet to separate you from your money.
The money s presumably to fix the roads.
Then you cross into Wisconsin and voila! the roads are nice, and uncluttered with highwayman tollbooths!
Anybody who lives in the Puget Sound and is interested in learning more about ticks from an entomologist, “Rod’s Tick Talk” is Feb. 24 7 PM at the Burke Museum,NW corner of UW campus. Sponsored by Scarabs Society, free to the public. I’ll be bringing cookies. Circle round to the loading dock area and ring or knock.
