Overheard:
"Did that moth just come out of my hair?" <<ruffles hair unconcernedly>>
-AMM

Dad's solution:
Me: The stream is really muddy right now. Our water looks like coffee.
Dad (on the phone): Just let it sit an hour and the sediment will settle to the bottom. Then just scoop water off the top.
Me: Yep, we did. The thing is, some of the sediment settles to the top.

Witnessed:
A tethered fly. A fly dangling from a long spider web attached to the ceiling flying in slow circles. Off-the-grid mobile.

In conversation with our neighbors:
"I made the best sangria but as soon as I set it down, a fly drown in it, and I..."
"You drank it!"
"No! I had to dump it out."
"What?! I would have drunk it."
"Me, too."
"Yep."

"You know what is good for keeping the mouse population down?"
"We have those live traps."
"Oh, I was going to say weasels."
