Please read if your Tippy has been bitten by a Tick.
Tick bites: First aid
Some ticks transmit bacteria that cause illnesses such as Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Your risk of contracting one of these diseases depends on what part of the United States you live in, how much time you spend in wooded areas and how well you protect yourself.
If you've received a tick bite:
Remove the tick promptly and carefully. Use tweezers to grasp the tick near its head or mouth and pull gently to remove the whole tick without crushing it.
If possible, seal the tick in a jar and keep it for a week or two. Your doctor may want to see the tick if you develop symptoms of illness after a tick bite.
Use soap and water to wash your hands and the area around the tick bite after handling the tick.
Call your doctor if you aren't able to completely remove the tick.
See your doctor if you develop:
A rash
A fever
Muscle aches
Joint pain and inflammation
Swollen lymph nodes
Flu-like symptoms
If possible, bring the tick with

Poor Tippy picked up a nasty little bite at DuneFest, I'm not sure how that could have happened.

Sex can be fattening if you're a female tick. After mating, one species of female tick balloons to a body-bursting 100 times its original size.
Why the once lean tick would get so engorged after sex has been a mystery. Does the female enjoy the human equivalent of a celebratory feast once it has accomplished the mating mission.

UH, errr, ummm. I just can't let this one go... It has so many things to comment on...It's too easy...
Sorry, DD fans. I have to censor myself and not resort to my juvenile, dirty mind, never grew up humor.
Sandflicker lobs up a slow pitch and I just stand there and take strike one.
What has happened to me? Maybe because I'm turning 40, am I finally starting to grow up? Is my wife finally getting her wish that I will start acting my age? What's next? Trade in the V-Force for a two up 4X4 with racks? Start drinking Metamucil instead of Monster? Start wearing suspenders to keep my riding pants up and stop showing plumbers crack when I ride?
I think I'm having a crisis!! I'll be in my room...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a disillusioned,
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to
pick up a turd by the clean end."
