they aggregate in cold weather, especially in the mountains.  you'll see mounds of them on the south facing bark on trees.  people collect them and sell them.


maybe they also breed them now, dunno.

They usually get to 8,400 or so and them some dick behind them starts going "8,398...8,578...8,239...8,920" and they have to start over.

They probably just look at how many LBs they have and then calculate how many LBs that is.

surprisingly small, about a 12"x12"x12" box.  they come in a mesh crate in a box, you keep them in the fridge (not something my wife was happy about).    but when released in an F150, they spread out pretty well.

oh, and at that time, you could also buy a 5 gallon bucket full of something like 40k or thereabouts.    I considered that, but shipping was a lot higher.  I think i paid about $20 for them.

Even good air mattresses eventually leak.  You can patch them, but they'll end up leaking a gain soon.  Rather than paying twice as much every pop, buy a good air pump you can keep for every one of your semi-disposable air mattresses.   Plus then if you ever don't have AC, you can do this:
