List of things I have just recently learned

Lifelong learning is my middle name. Here's some recent evidence that it is happening. In the past week I have learned that:  

Two people using pool skimmers in just the right way can get a very large turtle out of your neighbor's pool. The skimmers will then be needed to get the surprisingly large amount of turtle poop out of the pool.

You can get certified in Dog CPR and First Aid.

You can use something called neem oil on your tomato plants as an organic pesticide/fungicide/miticide AND as a natural bug spray on your skin (though I am not yet clear on if this should happen at different levels of concentration).

Dabbing vinegar on the mosquito bites you get in spite of wearing a suffocating amount of citronella and other natural herbs and oils instead of DEET makes them stop itching. 

The tomato plants will probably still die from the leaf miners that are munching swirly designs into all of their leaves even as I write this.

There's a red light traffic camera at the corner of Waters and Sheldon in Tampa. The fee for running a red light even though you would swear that they altered the photograph because you NEVER run red lights is $158. Boo.
