Pura vida! I am in Costa Rica using stolen restaurant internet right now. We saw a boa in the road and there was a scorpion on the shades of our cabin at Aunt Martha's, but when we went to go put him outside we discovered he was a dead scorpion, or maybe one that shed it's skin. I'm not sure, do scorpions shed their skins? Anyway, we have seen lots of crawly things and adorable fuzzy things and bold chirpy things and blue morpho butterflies. Not really the place to go if you are bothered by insects, bats, or snakes. Great country, so far though. Friendly people and Cloud Forest FTW.
Scorpions do shed their exoskeleton or Moult. Make sure you shake out your cloths and shoes before you put them on, the little buggers are bad about getting into places like that. I was in deployed to Honduras in the early 90's to "civic action" projects, and found them in my boots a few times. They are sneaky little bastards
Believe me, I am used to shaking out the bed clothes and checking my boots. I've made a habit of it since I found a large centipede in my sock I had hung out to dry a few years ago.
Re: Scorpions: We found two more in the room last night. One was hanging on the ceiling above the bed, and the other was under the table. He was about as big as my middle finger! Rym put them in a basket and a glass and threw them out the window, onto the porch where there were many other scorpions.
"One day we will rise up and overthrow the humans then force them to make cosy footwear for us to live in.." "Shut up, Clyde."
haha. That was cute.
@Gomidog: You're home just in time for a gamelab liquidation sale. You saw what was there. It's during work hours but they need to sell everything. Not sure about my ex-bosses Manga.

Liquidating, really? I thought they were doing well.

It's old news but they had some problems. I moved on before things happened.
Well, they(under a different name) released this BETA (takes a while to load). It's an educational game design tool for kids. It's being used in schools and is pretty awesome. If it received funding things would have been better but the economy isn't helping.
Hey, where are you in Costa Rica? I spent 6 weeks there over the summer in the small community of Berlin (yes in Costa Rica) near San Isidro. Hope you have as much fun as I did!

Oh yea, I had forgotten about those damm centipedes.

Coming home tomorrow.
I wonder what the other scorpions had to say to their freshly evicted mates?
"Shut up, Clyde."

@Mankoon! Dangit! I missed the sale! Think they would sell me the left-overs?
