My friend and neighbor Mary Cinadr has gotten an article published on the Boston Globe’s website. Want to check it out? She’s one of Peace Corps’ beekeeping volunteers, and she’s done awesome work with africanized “killer” bees.

Above, the girl who cat sits for me. A while back, she put on a full-on wedding for her tom cat and my cat. It involved a twenty kid guest list, snacks, marriage certificates, costumery, and scrap-lumber pews assembled on my front porch. The marriage, unfortunately, has been on the rocks lately. But maybe they’ll put it back together - I’m giving both my cats to this family when I leave. 

The Guaraní word of the day is akeké, meaning leaf cutter ant. Which are really cool to watch at work, provided they’re not working on your garden. They like basil.
