Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Katie, that sounds like my family, sorta. When my brother died, we had him cremated and we disposed of his ashes in his favorite state park. But the folks still wanted a tangible memorial of some sort, so they had an inscribed brick placed in one of the walkways of the local botanical garden, which he was very fond of. No one could ever remember exactly where his brick was, so it was always fun hunting it up. Now, the garden is redoing all the walkways and his brick is kind of in limbo until they're done. We'll have a new quest for the brick when they relay it.
I think Centruroides vittatus.

Hey, there's what he wants, and there's what he needs.
The only scorpion known to occur in Arkansas is the common striped bark scorpion, Centruroides vittatus. >[link]msbelle, when my grand-uncle got back from India after WWII (he was an airplane mechanic for the C-47s flying the Hump) he brought back with him a raging case of malaria. He was in bed shivering with fever when a scorpion fell off the ceiling and stung him on the arm. What a way to be welcomed home! He said at that point he just wanted to give up and die.
I was stung by a saddleback caterpillar [link] once, and it was really painful. It was more painful than the time I was stung on the lip by a wasp, right after I said, "I'll spray them. Wasps don't sting me." An individual fire ant bite may be lower on the pain scale, but usually you get more than one.
