Toxic is deadly

Final photo last night. Taken as a backup to the tube of ant ‘poison’. Family knows the visible tube is a warning to be careful. The toxic gel is clear. Even with the bait tube as a marker, it’s difficult to know exactly where it is. Hence this photo.

Toxic is deadly.

Hard stop.

Note: Most people never notice.

To each their own, home

Prioritize what you want to prioritize.

To each their own. 

Don’t worry about what others think about your priorities.

They don’t worry about what you think of theirs.

People care less than we think they do. We can even go as far as saying they spend zero time worrying about how you run your life.

Live and let live, home

A decade ago. Said a few ‘official’ farewells before walking down this stairwell to drive (home) to Magic Kingdom Wardrobe to turn in the Walt Disney Walt Jungle Cruise hat.

Let people prioritize the way they want to prioritize.

Prioritize as much or as little as suits you.
