There I was, peacefully reading by flashlight under our mosquito net at about 4am because I couldn’t sleep (sound familiar, all you over 50-ers?) when out of the corner of my eye what do I see? A millipede. He wasn’t rolled up like in the photo, he was tooling along on his crazy little bazillion feet, when all of a sudden he stopped, with shock I suppose, to see a huge white creature and a light in his path! Totally harmless, but a bit disquieting, to say the least. I keep thinking about how he got up there and what if I hadn’t been awake??? Ick. We find them in the house frequently, and they conveniently roll themselves up so that we can kick them out the door like a hockey puck. They slide very nicely across our smooth cement floors. She kicks, she scores, and the crowd goes wild!!!! Wheee!!!
