The heat seems to have triggered another flying ant day. Although this one has done her flying and still has a wing to shed. I hope she finds a suitable site; good luck mi duck!

Happy Flying Ant Day to all who celebrate - and you should!

Not really a day, but a short period of time each year in which ants grow wings and take flight in search of mates. And it's GREAT because ants are crucial for soil health, seed dispersal, nutrient cycling, pest control & lots more!

Today, whilst having a nice chat about comics and Star Trek with the (otherwise) awesome barman in my local he said "when I talk to guys of your age"

And I zoned out from the rest. Fuck. I'm old now. How and when did that happen?

I believe the phrase is "slowly at first and then all at once".

I'm new here and have no idea what to do yet, so I thought I'd post something about #beer.

Most possibly the foundation of society as a concept, global warming is about to wreck it.
