They Live Among Us

El Manana reports that a deer hide was confiscated at the Columbia Solidarity Bridge for being infested with ticks.  The person attempting to cross the pelt into the United States said he was hauling it from the state of Nuevo Leon.  The live insects were identified as Boophilus ticks.


Good collar for the federal agents, but now I have an itch just thinking about the whole situation.

In related news, LaredoTejas posted a comment from somebody who stayed at a local hotel.  There were two points of contention from the visitor:  drunk patrons and bedbugs!!! 

And Pro8news had a story on their noon program about a residential property overtaken by ants.  (Link unavailable)  This could've been the hat trick of all blog posts if the story were available online. 

I'm almost tempted to post a video clip of the 1982 movie "Creepshow," but that would send some people running for the hills.

I recently stayed at the LQ on the loop & all was fine. (Stayed there because a neighbor was going to have one of those loud parties that last longer than they should & I needed my sleep). Too bad that the Marriott Courtyard has gone downhill like that, though.

it's a Mexican thing to sit at the front of the property and drink beer from a cardboard box

There was a band called Deer Tick that played at Old No. 2 a couple of years ago.

Luckily, we've never had an encounter with bedbugs.
