Hi, Mr. Nature here! I haven’t been around much lately because I don’t want anybody to think I even know Joe Collidge.
But I’m here today to warn you off those furry, cuddly-looking caterpillars that just say “Pet me!” when you look at them. Believe me, you’ll be mighty sorry if you do pet one of them.
These critters are found throughout the Southeastern US, as far west as Texas, where they’re all over the place, and as far north as New Jersey.
If you’re really lucky, getting stung by one of these–and the venom is injected on contact, the caterpillar doesn’t have to do it on purpose–it will only be extremely painful. If you’re not so lucky, it will be much worse. It won’t kill you, but the sting of the puss caterpillar has been likened to that of a scorpion. In some parts of the country they’re called tree asps. (If you don’t know what that means, you need to do more crossword puzzles.)
I repeat: don’t touch!

I’ve started solving the problems and feel a lot better about them.
Have a call in to Adam about the computer.
When it is sunny again, my neighbor is going to see about the A/C problem. I’ve been thinking about that and although I have had the car for about 20 years, I don’t think that they ever had to add freon. Perhaps it is time for that. We’ll see.
Picked up my prescription today.
My chili is cooking and I am now going to watch a little TV before supper.
Things will get straightened out, one way or another.
Pray for our troops.
God bless everybody.

Browsing the Young Readers Fiction section in my supermarket this morning, I checked up on my competition. I don’t want to give them free publicity, so I won’t mention titles or authors’ names. But here’s what teens are reading.
Most of this, by the way, is pitched to girls. It seems girls read more than boys. Maybe boys are busy with video games. I wonder how much longer our civilization will last.
Most of the books for girls seem to be geared to training them to be Romance addicts later on. You know: the 200-pound young woman lying on the couch, popping bon-bons and Cheezits into her mouth while reading a paperback whose cover features a nearly-naked woman on her knees, embracing a bare-chested tribesman… I think I’m going to be sick.
There’s one series about a race of super-girls, immortal of course, eternally beautiful, possessing superhuman powers–they get this way by practicing witchcraft–and their endless seductions of hunky bare-chested stable boys. There’s this bad bishop who stalks them, hoping to burn them at the stake. Unfortunately he doesn’t succeed.
There’s another one in which a teenage girl discovers she was born immortal, and she’s in love with this incredibly sexy bare-chested guy who–guess what!–is also immortal, and she’s being pursued all the time by this real sexy bare-chested bad guy and he’s immortal, too…
Question: At what point does immortality kick in for these folks? I mean, why aren’t they newborn babies forever? If they age into teenagers, won’t they just keep on aging until they get worn out and keel over like the rest of us?
The rest of the books look even worse. I can’t bring myself to describe them even in the most general terms.
I do wish people would give my books a shot. I guarantee they bear no resemblance to those discussed above.
