Silverfish/spider problem

I am not a fan of bugs at all. But silverfish and spiders are the two I have major issues with and those are very common in our area of south Minneapolis. We've had a pest control guy come every few months and last year that worked actually really well. But so far this year we are seeing more silverfish and spiders in our basement...which isn't that shocking since it's more dark and damp but that is where our bedroom is, our bathroom is, our laundry and closets are, and one of our living rooms.

Need some ideas from you all on here on deterring these things. I know silverfish and spiders are helpful in many ways...but not in the house. Are there home remedies that have worked for you? Certain pet-friendly products/sprays we can try?

Specifically, the grumpy sailor look-

Turns out it was one guy, Arthur Evans who went around selling mascot designs to different schools. Some of them are straight carbon copies of others, but many of them stuck to a theme. It's something that I've noticed in the past, but never really thought about how it came to be.

Carleton, Lynx debut WNBA in Canada; sell out Raptors home arena

Bridget Carleton went home to Canada with the Lynx for an exhibition game against the Chicago Sky. The NBA Raptors home arena, Scotiabank Arena, was sold out for the game. 20,000 tickets were sold almost as soon as they became available. Toronto is being considered for WNBA expansion, but has a few significant speed bumps to overcome.

Toronto is less than 3 hours from Bridget's home town of Chatham. For trivia buffs, Carleton became the first Canadian to play in a WNBA game in Canada, albeit an exhibition game.

Nice to see this happen for Bridget; she's been with the Lynx now since 2019. Her interview shown in the attachment below is classic Bridget; you've all seen that smile many times before.

On That Note: And in the End

Welcome to another weekly edition of our music-based post. Which is hosted by our crack team of @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

This week's theme is based on doing an opposite of a previous OTN we'd done in September 2020.

This week we're looking for songs whose ENDING LYRICS are the same as the song's title. The song title's lyrics may appear elsewhere in the song but must be, verbatim, the last word(s) of the song to qualify.

Last week's topic was "Fast." It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-fast.278559/

And this one, where the title is the single and only word in the track, and it's at the very end.
