There is also something deeply comforting about the cultural shorthand Spencer-Fleming uses. References to PBS, public radio–adjacent sensibilities, and a certain late-20th-century, educated-Northeast worldview made me feel instantly at home. It is clear the author lives in or very near my cultural zeitgeist, and those small, knowing touches add a layer of authenticity that is easy to underestimate and hard to fake.There is also something deeply comforting about the cultural shorthand Spencer-Fleming uses.

No Oil Painting entertains, uplifts, and subtly encourages the reader to imagine their own cheeky museum caper. Hypothetically, of course. Mostly.
Whether you’re daydreaming about Scotland’s misty highlands on the Royal Scotsman or plotting a long weekend aboard the Ethan Allen Express, every spread offers its own small escape.
For a first novel, Death of a Billionaire is remarkably polished, deeply entertaining, and packed with personality. I turned the final page already hoping this is only the beginning of a long writing career for Tucker May.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Ants! They swarmed in our bathtub last week, but we committed antocide.
Would that make you public ANTemy # one??

Michele sent me.
Don’t like ants, spiders, roaches or those flying little tiny moths that get into the pantry. Spray away!
Not the time of year for ants in the UK. I agree, though, it takes such a long time to shoo them outdoors individually.
Here today via Michele’s – Hiya!

Have you tried using boric acid? It works really well on roaches, and okay on ants. They recommend mixing it with sugar or jelly for ants (putting it outside I assume) so they’ll be attracted to it. The acid is nontoxic for humans and animals, but eats through bug carapace pretty easily. :)
er, nontoxic so long as you don’t actually eat it in quantity. our cats have never bothered with it.
I’m with you on this one! I HATE ants!!! I too am an ant murderer any chance I get. Perhaps I’ll have tshirts made declaring such :)
I’m with you on ants, Melissa. I like to watch them outside but when they come inside the gloves come off. I’ve got all sorts of chemicals for their “enjoyment” and I’m not hesitant about using them!
