Ugh
Not looking good for Friday or Saturday and Sunday

I’m working hard to get caught up
Thank you for your patience

And people wonder why I am behind??
Well here’s the reason
It’s been like this all May
Tried to schedule some jobs early this morning hoping to beat the winds
But NOT today

Thank you for your understanding

Have a wonderful Saturday

Yes they are out
Next week doing all the June mosquitoes
Doing power apps this morning on the north shore by the swamps they tried to eat me alive

Have a wonderful weekend
Hopefully this next week is calm and no rain
So I can catch up
Been trying real hard
Thank you all for your understanding and patience

I’ve waited all season for a dead calm day like today
Been at it since 6 am

I need 2 weeks just like today
I’ll catch up

Have a beautiful beautiful day
Long point and east Houghton lake drive the next two days

Good advice

Ticks don't choose Michigan yards randomly. These mistakes make yours the easiest choice on the block.

Looks windy again tomorrow winds at 9 at 6 am
But the rest of the week looks a lot calmer
I’ll be working from 6 am until the winds pick up
Hope to finish Iroquois and Long pount and East Houghton Lake Drive if the winds stay down
Have a safe Memorial Day
Hope you get out to watch the parade

Blowing way too hard for me to spray😞

05/20/2026

Good morning
Winds were supposed to be down today

So having to reschedule

You are not going to believe this one but every word is sourced and footnoted.

Two professors of medical ethics at Western Michigan University's medical school just published a peer-reviewed paper in a major academic journal arguing that it is, quote, "morally obligatory" to release genetically engineered ticks on the American public so that more of us become permanently allergic to beef, pork, and lamb.

The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." It was published in the journal Bioethics in 2025. The authors are Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, and they teach the future doctors of America in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Here is what they actually wrote. They call the disease-carrying tick a "moral bioenhancer." They say we have an obligation to "expose others" to alpha-gal syndrome, the meat allergy spread by the lone star tick.

They say we should "undermine attempts to cure" the allergy. They say AGS is not even a disease, so it does not need a cure.

Their plan is to use CRISPR gene editing to redesign the tick so it can survive in more environments, including cities, possibly by hitching rides on rats.

They cite the gene-edited mosquito programs already operating in other countries as their working model.

Their justification is that eating red meat is morally wrong, and since you will not stop on your own, the credentialed class at a state-affiliated medical school is going to make the decision for you.

They argue this is not a violation of your rights, just a tolerable, quote, "infringement," same as a vaccine mandate.

Nobody is going to ask you. Nobody is going to put it on a ballot. One of the same authors previously published a paper in the same journal titled "Compulsory Moral Bioenhancement Should Be Covert," meaning forced biological modification of the population should be kept hidden from the population.

This is not a parody site. This is not a tweet.

This is a peer-reviewed paper sitting in the flagship journal of the bioethics field, written by tenured professors at a medical school, available right now on PubMed.

The Founders had a phrase for the principle these professors just casually walked past. It was called "consent of the governed." Apparently a tick does not need your consent.

These winds need to stop
