Ticks and Pest Control What follows below is a transcription of my own spontaneous speech. Let me know if you find something that a native wouldn't say while talking. "So today I had two guys bath my dogs and they warned me that they were spoiled with ticks. This got us really scared because the smaller one, one of those brown ones that dig holes into the ground, the smaller one almost died from ticks very recently. So we definitely had to take them to the doctor, to the veterinary doctor... and then we had to call pest control here. But the pest control guy couldn't find any ticks clinging to the walls, and they're really visible when they're present, they form these black clusters in muddy places, and this sort of thing. And as he couldn't spot any, he said, I'll do the pest control anyway, but there seem to be no ticks over here."

I've written a tool that maybe will be useful for other learners in this network, so I'd like to share it here.

Currently, It can only run in linux.

Please judge my accent http://picosong.com/SF5e/ "I read in a magazine the other day that we spend something like ninety percent of our time not living in the present. Meaning we are always thinking about what we are about to do or what we have already done, rather than thinking about what we are doing right here and now."
