They look suspiciously like the rice beetles that are enfesting the
entire house. My wife buys rice in 25-lb sacks, and they invariable
"develop" beetles in a few weeks.

Met some people who knew me and called me friend
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live over
I'd find different ways to make those same mistakes again.
