talbotlucas.org: a word to the wise is sufficient

As we learned first-hand when we lived in La Jolla, termites are no laughing matter. Detecting them is one thing; ridding a building of them another. Both efforts are usually accompanied by a lot of head-shaking and sighing (on the part of the technicians and the home owners/occupiers). But...science to the rescue! Seems all that cellolose the little guys eat gives them the urge to...relieve themselves. In doing so, they make themselves vulnerable to detection. See the New York Times article about it (click here). Seems this explains how the beagles and other "termite dogs" sniff out the termites.

Back to the books. My eight-hour contracts final exam is tomorrow. Three more after that (property, constitutional law, and law skills), and then the first year is under my belt.
