The mere mention of the word “ticks” may send shivers down the spines of all within earshot. These minuscule parasites have garnered an infamous reputation for latching onto the flesh of cherished pets and unsuspecting owners, alike, on their summer morning walks through grassy trails. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM

When I was going through basic training for the Air Force I was the only one that didn’t qualify on the firing range. My flight along with our sister flight marched quite a distance to the range during the hot July Sun. I am not making excuses just a bad shot that day. Our assignment was to fire semi-automatic rifles and hit a target 100 yards away. Out of approximately 100 airmen I was the only one that didn’t qualify that day because I was two shots short of the mark. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM

What really happens when you get a sunburn?

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension It’s understandable — you were having too much fun splashing around in the pool to even consider stopping the fun to get out and go about the incredibly un-fun task of reapplying sunscreen. Next thing you know, you’re reaching for the aloe vera and frowning at the flaking skin peeling off your arms and shoulders. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM
