    That's quite a mental image! I wonder if all those could have been killed what it would have done to the population - probably very little. As I said, I am sure they are here, but not in the numbers they are just a short ways south.

    But, keeping on topic - are they as active at night while doing the Telltale heart???

    I was wondering where my pet tick had run off to.

And being eaten meant you had to start over from a "save point" - if you remembered to save! LOL!

    I remember spending MANY hours pouring over printouts of my "adventures", trying to find where I went wrong. Text based games were great!

    (I still have many of those games, if anyone wants to try them...)
    lol, i remember when the return to zork came out (it actually had pictures and video, funniest part was when you had to burn a bra to get the wire to pick the lock of a closed down shop, i'd like to know who gets paid to sit around and think of stuff like that...)

    but you still didn't answer the question... what's a grue?!?!?

    I have been out there about 30 times and have not had one tick on me yet. But I could bring some out there if that would make it more spooky for people . . he he he!

    What is sad about Tics and humans is that a few (like withing the last 10) years ago the FDA approved and a pharmaceutical company released a human vaccine for Lyme disease. It was like HepB vaccine a series of 3 shots. Perfect for hikers, woodsmen, butchers, hunters and the like.

    I worked in public health doing immunizations when it was released and it wasn't a real popular vaccine. I did get the series.

    Suddenly, without warning the pharmaceutical company stopped producing the vaccine. Question was why? Answer given by the Rep - "It wasn't cost effective to keep producing it, not enough people were getting it and the profit margin was not what was expected". Sort of sad in my book.

    Although I have had the vaccine I am still careful of ticks. And FYI - if you are bitten and have the little sucker - and want to spend some money - they can identify its sex and also tell you if it was carrying Lyme or not.
