Blue-Ringed Octopus At five to eight inches, the blue-ringed octopus is capable of killing a number of humans within minutes. Their diet includes small crab and shrimp —— and fish when they can get their tentacles on them. While their bites are often tiny and painless, their venom will cause respiratory failure and paralysis. There is no anti-venom.
#TraceysPondII So far the deepest part of Tracey’s new pond is about three feet deep; at least we thought it was supposed to be a pond. Water is seeping into the hole so maybe she dug a well instead?

I didn’t do a darned constructive thing yesterday other than take Tracey to work and then go pick her up again. Just a lazy Spring day watching the grass grow and the clouds float by.

A&B are off to school —— they drove separately today because Ben will be taking a half-day from school to go back to ICC and meet with his new counselor to set up his class schedule for this Fall.
Tracey went to work on her scooter —— she will be getting home later than usual this evening because she has a unit meeting. She has a long list of stuff she plans to yell at them about. She still has a few “problem” employees.

Ben just dropped by to eat lunch before going to ICC. He says they are grinding up Allentown Rd. to re-surface it. I could hear the equipment and the beep-beep when they back up but didn’t know what was going on for sure. Now we shall see how long it takes them to put down new road and how good the road will be when they are done. I am hoping for new asphalt but fear it will be the oil & rock crap they have done elsewhere.

I mixed up some Round-Up in our new sprayer and sprayed around the front walk, along the driveway, the front of the garage and around the Moo-tel. There is more that needs sprayed but I will give it a day to see what happens —— I think I may have mixed it too weak.
I also wanted to go get the mail (which turned out to be nothing but junk mail) and I took some pictures of them tearing up our road. I will have them on the Blog tomorrow.
