More Bleh

Ants are coming into the house again, probably taking refuge from the wet weather. They'd be better off outside, away from the crushing Damp Paper Towel of Death! Poor ants. I never bother them when they're outside, but when they come into the house, it's war.

The new neighbors left their porch light on all night last night. When it was still on tonight, I realized that they must have gone away for the holiday and had forgotten to turn it off. I won't have perfectly dark nights until they get back-- unless I go snatch the bulb, of course.

I'm going to go look at maps and pretend I'm somewhere more interesting.

Take the bulb. It belongs to you now.

I could only use it for flinging, though. It's an incandescent, and for my own lighting, I've gone entirely compact fluorescent.

Why didn't I think of that?

It's almost four o'clock now.

You know, the way I'm feeling this morning after shifting my sleep schedule by several hours and waking up sweating due to an over-eager radiator, I'm kind of looking up in the sky hopefully for the Damp Paper Towel of Death.

I hate going to sleep with the heat on.

Odd coincidence-- our heating system has no humidifier, so I use a damp paper towel over the grate to keep the air partly breathable in the winter. The Damp Paper Towel of Death is also the Damp Paper Towel of Life.

You could try hanging a just-washed-in-the-laundry towel, or something, in your room.

I think that destroying their high-energy bulb is well within what you're trying to accomplish with your compact fluorescents.
