Garm book is at the editor. It's about 110K words. I have ants in my kitchen. Not a lot. But ants. I haven't used an ant bait maybe for...25 years? And they haven't changed. It's poison, and they have liabilities, so they make this twisty ant hotel that no ant will go inside. 25 years ago, I had put it right in the path of ants and watched them steadfastly walk around it.

And I pulled out the filter, and it had about a pound of hair/dust/gunk on it. I'm amazed it didn't scream for... Read More
I'm about 75% done with Garm. Hang in there. Today I was out with the dog. 70 degrees on January 9th. Lots of people around. I was standing with my dog when someone came down the steps (by the beach) with their bike. There was a bang and they weren't sure what broke. They kept saying it was the chain and I saw the problem. So I went over and helped. The back wheel had come off the mountain bike... Read More
