My New Hampshire optometrist was checking for sharpness with different lens settings. When I couldn't decide between two for better sharpness, he flipped a new lens into place. I said, "Now
all the letters are fuzzy". His response, "That's the minimum vision required for drivers in the state of New Hampshire."
As for mud and wasps: this area has a small, black, and very nervous wasp called a Spider Wasp. (Small—about ⅝" long). Her job is to find spiders, numb them with a sting, find a hole, lay an egg on the numbed spider, and seal the hole with mud. The numbed spider later becomes a fresh meal for a freshly-hatched baby wasp.
I watched one trying to lure a spider out onto her web. The wasp's trick was to pluck the web rapidly, to imitate a caught bug. While this trick wasn't working for this particular spider,
I was impressed!
