I’m at the house, so that I can meet the air conditioning guy. I got to the house this early so that I could pick up a little before he got here. Instead, I’ve been answering emails and playing on the computer.
Because, obviously, answering emails and playing on the computer are far more fun than picking up the house.
And I keep feeling something crawling on my leg, which I know and you know is going to be a tick, but I just can’t bring myself to confirm.
Do ticks serve any purpose? I feel like we could just get rid of them and no one would notice. But with my luck, something important eats them and I’d get rid of ticks and ruin the whole ecosystem.

I thought lots of fowl ate ticks. Isn’t this why you should have peacocks, or at least chickens?
Oh, true enough! I need my neighbors to get chickens, though, as I don’t want to be responsible for them. But I’m happy to borrow them.
