The Empire Strikes Back

The rebel forces had made steady inroads lately, surprising Queen B of Nowshera. And eventually the empire struck back. The rebels may have superior numbers, are well organised, and extremely persistent, but they were no match to the liquid power and destruction of The Terminator. And since ants and cockroaches have no jedi religion and are devoid of midi-chlorians, there won't be a sequel. Eventually, of course they will return, just not as jedi.

Today the guy from Pied Piper (in Anlehnung an den Rattenfänger von Hameln, ein gängiger Name im Angelsächischen von Firmen der Kammerjäger) came by and sprayed the house. Our house is called "Nowshera" and my wife, Barbara, had been fed up with ants and roaches sharing her living space. Yes we know we live on a subtropical island, where humans are outnumbered by ants by about a trillion to one, but, according to her, that does not mean I have to live WITH them. Chemistry was a potent factor in redressing that numerical imbalance. And I suspect we'll be ant-free for a while. (to be continued)

The storm that never came

Just following up on the last entry.
The session came and went, yet without storm. All went pretty smoothly. And the general atmosphere remained spiritual. So overall it was actually an encouraging meeting.
