Just discovered: A nickel-sized bug bite on the back of my left knee.

(Note that I discovered it by feel, not by itching. But now it itches.)

Current bug bite count: 16

Droughts are evil, cause only 4 of the dang bites are mosquitoes. The rest are fleas. From sitting in my grandmother's back yard. And the little dog that belongs to my upstairs neighbor. And because Chester managed to get a few again less than a week after a major flea bath.

Just found another bite on my arm. That's 17. Joy!

Things Of The Good From This Week's Race

Junior finished 5th.

Vickers finished 8th.

Allmendinger not only finished the race, if there'd been a caution there near the end he'd have finished on the lead lap. And he was the second highest finishing Toyota.

Mikey did not end up fried.

Biffle's crew member did not get badly hurt (the one he ran over).

Things Of The Bad From This Week's Race

Really boring races at night just make me want to sleep that much more.

Neighbors who pop in to watch a race aren't nearly as fun as Bubbles because they read too much into the announcers being dirty. As in, me cracking up over a "hot and slick" statement leads to the neighbor thinking I'm hitting on him. *sigh*

Jimmie Johnson won.

Kurt Busch didn't wreck. And only has to finish 36th or higher to clinch a Chase berth. (I think that's considering if Junior wins the race.)

Harvick took a tumble in the standings and feasibly, with much long shot, if Junior were to get into the Chase (by some miracle), it could be Harvick that was knocked out. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I want Kurt out, not Kevin. I don't want to have to sacrifice one of my boys for the other. (Then again, if DEI had given Junior better engines earlier in the year, this wouldn't be an issue.)

If I am sitting on the toilet, that is NOT a good time for the three inch long cockroach to come running out to stand between me and the bathroom door.

On the plus side, it was obviously not from Madagascar, as it wasn't hissing.

Combine this with the large number of milipede bodies outside of my apartment door, plus the creepy crawlies that are managing to get in (looking for water - damn drought), and I'm very anti-bug right now.

Can anyone translate the meaning on the following (Spanish)?

"Los profesores abren la puerta, pero tu debes entrar por ti mismo."

I've got that the teachers open the door, but the second part is throwing me. I know the individual words, but I'm not quite getting the meaning. (It's a poster in my mother's store. I've been staring at it for two hours now.)
