Well Snow, I sure would hate to think that my fuzzies made it to where-ever YOU are living, when I finally got them out of here!!

MANY years ago I took a group of cub-scouts on a field trip to a BIG garbage dump. We watched the tractors & movers burying mountains of trash into this HUGE land-fill. It was surreal to watch everyday items like your washer & old dresser, or baby carriage and old blanket, get SMASHED up with a load of rotting food and dirty diapers!! And buried in dirt, as though it could be planted to grow something... We then watched them create compost from waste lumber and scrap (moldy) wood and yard debris recycling that was all chopped up in a huge machine, before it was spread out to rot & age. They also had a special series of pipes to reclaim the methane GAS that the deep underground garbage was producing, and then burn it, (shooting up a large flame from the tall stack into the air--like a scene from hell.) and used that to turn an electric turbine for energy to run the whole show.

Every time I think about WHERE my garbage goes, and what is IN MY garbage, I have this image of hundreds of millions of morgies genetically morphing and breeding in this industrial waste-hole and crawling out with their "recycled MULCH product" into the wide open world--from MY vacuum cleaner dust bag, etc. It just gives me the total willies.

This WHOLE THREAD has absolutely nothing to do with mites, you guys know. I'm so sorry about this. I just had to share this image that I wonder about. How far do these things spread & move??? How individual?personal are they REALLY?
