I'll have to think about that.

Think about how age brings many references lost to the inexperienced youth. To wit:

Jimmy Hatlo - Wikipedia

Tip of the Hatlo hat

His break came when a shipment of panels from syndicated cartoonist Tad Dorgan failed to arrive in the mail. Hatlo was pressed into service to create something to fill the space. What resulted was They'll Do It Every Time, an instant hit with San Francisco readers. After several days, he began to run short on ideas. Various people—including Pat Frayne, Hatlo's managing editor at the time, and Scoop Gleason, his sports editor—later claimed credit for what happened next; even so, it may have been Hatlo himself, to adopt the tactic of asking readers to submit their own ideas for the cartoons. Whatever the source, this gambit was a huge success. Hatlo picked the best submissions, and credited each contributor by name, in closing the such cartoon with a box that read, "Thanx and a tip of the Hatlo Hat to...", followed by the submitters’s name.

I wasn't thinking about the play on words (some might say bad pun or even Dad joke), I needed time to comprehend the fact that @Revoltingest may have provided useful information.

I have found no more ticks on me. I hope that I am right about that.

An invention that made God cry...

In college I shared an apartment with 4 other students. We shared food. To save money someone bought a case of creamed corn. I've not had canned creamed corn since then.

Neither random or miscellaneous but a quote I just had to put somewhere on RF. Referring to Trump's attempt to assert executive privilege to keep Congress from getting records:

“Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President,”

To which I add AMEN.

I teach the kids to make sure they are properly dressed before going into the forest. I.e. decent boots, trousers tucked into socks, long sleeve tops. That only leaves hands and head to pick up ticks (or snake bite). So far its worked but we aren't in the countryside so i am sure it will happen sometime.

As if...

As if my eyes don't give be enough problems. Apart from bleeding red my eyesight has been pretty good... Guess who has catteracts!

I go further, wearing clothing treated with permethrin
(a chrysanthemum extract or a synthetic). It kills'm
on contact. It really works.

Cataracts are universal after a certain age. They might be slight as in my case or almost ready for the knife like my wife who needs them taken care of before she'll be able to renew her driver's license.

But I take it yours are more than slight.

Random: I hope I'm not slighting you.

Permethrin, nah, we have cats and live in an insecticide free zone

Permethrin, nah, we have cats and live in an insecticide free zone

It's only infused in the clothing.
Never sprayed in the environment.
Cats are useless against ticks.
Get chickens.
