  • The all important exchange with Daffy is missing however… “You jump into the lava with one ring!”

    “No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”

    “NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring! AND THAT’S FINAL!”




  • I used to do a lot of traveling and slept in rest stops and 24 hour Walmart parking lots (they allow it, or at least used to). Here’s a little pro-tip for security. Run your front seatbelts down through the doors built in handles, across the seats and into the buckle. Pull it as tight as you can. If anyone picks the lock while you’re asleep they won’t be able to open the door. I never had it needed but I slept more soundly knowing that extra bit of security was in place. Outside of that, be sure you have more water than you need. Keep an unopened, sealed gallon that you never open, or rotate and replace as needed. Keep your batteries charged. I don’t play baseball but I’d travel with an old mitt and bat. Put a long sock over the end of your bat. It’ll give you an extra swing if needed. No shame in carrying mace/bear spray and a whistle, either. Keep a decent first aid kit, too, with a large bottle of rubbing alcohol. And rolls of toilet paper! Rest stops and port-o-potties aren’t always that clean. Rubbing alcohol on the toilet seats is a simple way to keep sanitary. Baby wipes are the best when you haven’t been able to shower for a minute. Enjoy your travels!













  • Earwigs are drawn to textiles for some reason. I’ve left gloves in the garden and they’d literally be filled with them the next morning (and new gloves purchased immediately!). You could try leaving a carpet remnant upside down in the garden with a healthy dose of diatomaceous earth under it. Diatomaceous earth is excellent for creepy-crawly control.
