I have to work on my technique.

It's been a slow soaking rain all day today... a good soaking rain for the garden and to (or... try to) teach the kids how to hunt for night-crawlers, garden/lawn worms. It's fishin' season after all.

Dem frickin' worm things are faster than I remember (or I'm slower than I remember).

After a bit I got the technique down.... stealth... and {snap} reflexes - I'm a worm Ninja now. Think the worm... feel the worm... BE the worm.

Here's a hint, go for a full fisted grab rather than a dainty pinch.

I could just buy them at the local convenience store ($4/ dozen) but after seeing all the worms surface from all the rain I decided to convince the kids to go "hunting." We got a few dozen.... enough to start a worm bed in a tuperware container.

Gives the kids another thing to do beyond the electronic mind numbing of things nowadays.

(yeah... and I say this typing on a laptop that is connected to a router via radio waves that then goes over fiber optics to a substation as a first link to zillions of other people world wide... all while having the idiot tube on in the background which gets it's digital signal from... blah... blah... blah...)

But I'm not a hyprocrite.. I'm a Worm Ninja Hunter

Grab a shovel. Use it to get a big scoop of earth. Pick the worms out. Put the earth back.

Much easier. Just saying.
