Typical Tucson conversation:
Saw a scorp. (We call 'em 'scorps' to sound casual)
What kind?
Bark.
Bite ya?
Yeah.
So, you're gonna die, huh?
Yeah.... urk!
We had a scorpion in one of our bedrooms. My wife caught it in a jar and brought it to me while I was in the shower. "Is this a scorpion?" she asks. "Yes" I said with greater calm than I felt. I later took it to the biologists at work, who argued over its identification, eventually deciding it was a baby Tiger Scorpion. They kept it as a pet. Crazy biologists.

LOL! sounds like the Japanese attitude towards earthquakes. I recall being in the middle of teaching an English lesson once when the ground began to shake and the overhead light to sway. I was about to duck under a desk when my students casually said, "don't worry, it's just an earthquake, we have them all the time...."

Earthquakes, scorpions, etc. I guess it doesn't pay to get too freaked about these things. Just do what you can, and hope for the best.

Have you never heard of CornHuskers? Voracious, red-clad, man-eating insects of the worst kind!

All I ever get in my house are house spiders and grasshoppers. I'm having mixed feelings... Happiness and dissapointment.

We actually had a high in the mid 60's today--in New Jersey. Atypical for this time of year, and it's supposed to last for a few more days. Wonderful spore-growing weather.
