Ray's Thought for the Day - Rainfall Update Plus Beetle Dovers

Praise the WG! It is time for another rainfall update. So, 27.42" + 0.60" = 28.02"on Day 182 of DY 1. Goddess all righty! As long as there is plenty of rain on the watershed, the watershed shall probably not resemble the miserable Iraqi colony.

Troubled by the general ignorance of beetles apparent at the CB we aspired to acquire the famous beetle Dovers that feature a great many of the beetles of eastern North America north of the Rio Grande. However, the beetle Dovers are out of print. Plus, used beetle Dovers are hard to come by. Nevertheless, we have acquired the twain beetle Dovers on loan. The temporary presence of the beetle Dovers at the CB account for how come we are identifying some of the CB beetles to genus these days, maybe. But I hasten to add, we are only identifying them from pictures as opposed to identifying crucified beetles.

Crucified beetles are too much work. Once there was this beetle. This particular beetle had bad luck. The bad luck included habitating in a film canister stuck in the back recesses of an icebox freezer for a couple of months. But then the luck of the unlucky beetle changed just after that beetle was crucified on a pin and stuck in a collection box. For, lo and behold, that beetle was OK. What that beetle did was work itself down on the pin until it could get some foot traction. Then, once that beetle had foot traction, all it had to do was wander around in the collection box eating up all the other specimens.

That beetle was hard work. As a reward for the hard work, that beetle got turned loose.
