How To Smush A Scorpion (without Even Trying)
The other week as I was working in my garage, I glanced down at the pavement and noticed a rather large cockroach that was crushed, just at the edge of my driveway. Upon closer inspection, I realized to my fascination (and horror) that it wasn’t a cockroach at all, but a scorpion!
As you can see from the photo, it’s not a huge scorpion (in relation to the quarter), but I still shudder to think of this nasty crawling around in my garage, much less having Kyler find it or its brothers someday. Thankfully, God had His way with the li’l scrambler, because his death was quick and probably painless.
How to Kill a Scorpion:
1) Raise garage door.
2) Wait for scorpion to crawl out of his sneaky hiding place and take a stroll on the wildside of the garage.
3) Close garage door on scorpion’s butt.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Kevin Mills killed his scorpion, with God’s timely assistance and – dare I say it? – Favor.

Here in Bolivia its a know fact that scorps always are in pairs you find one kill it and then we usually look until we find the other.

Max, you are always a fountain of encouragement and joy. Thanks for the cheer-me-up.
I looked up “scorpions” and “pairs” on Google. You’re absolutely right – they like to hang, don’t they? I’ll keep that in mind when I clean the garage out this week… perhaps in my Mama’s combat boots… just to be safe…
