Scorpion Season...

... is here!

After about a month of anticipation we spotted the first of the season last night. It was HUGE (a little less than a foot long), and trying to walk into our house. Luckily Soni the dog was playing curious defender. Ultimately Vijay had to wack it a few times with his shoe--can't take any risks with venomous arachnids!

I thought the rats ate them (or do I have that backwards?), and no matter, the cobras eat what's left.....just another day in paradise.

nearly A FOOT LONG?

>_<

that's a foot TOO long. and i am a scorpio!! but that just sounds terrifying!

please post a picture next time though! i would love to see a foot-sized scorpion!!

here in DC it looks like it is turning out to be one of those caterpillar years (i think it's cylic) and i just hope they don't come in hoardes...ewwww. it's the yellow and black fuzzy ones too...do they turn into butterflies? or moths? gross.

hey, just read through almost your complete blog, very interesting!

i assume, that your time in India is now over? how about a final wrap up?

What do you think about your organisation's approach, what could the first world learn from them?

Best, Simon
