[00:02]bug

[00:04]THE mountain bark beetle is a familiar pest in the forests of

[00:08]British Columbia. Its population rises and falls unpredictably,

[00:14]destroying clumps of pinewood as it peaks which then regenerate

[00:19]as the bug recedes.

[00:23]hug

[00:26]Last week, I elbowed my boyfriend forcefully in the eye while attempting to

[00:31]throw an affectionate arm around him. Before that, I tried to hug a man,

[00:37]snagged his ear with my fingernail and took off a wedge of skin.

[00:45]jug

[00:46]A group of California artists wants Mexicans and Central Americans

[00:52]to have more than just a few cans of tuna and a jug of water for their

[00:58]illegal trek through the harsh desert into the U.S.

[01:10]mug

[01:12]The museum's ceramics collection takes you through the evolution

[01:17]of the factory's designs, from the first mug (1874) to colorfully

[01:23]glazed art pieces from the 1950s and '60s.

[01:29]rug

[01:31]Our hut awaits: a little over 10 feet squared with walls of dried reed

[01:37]pinned by thick bamboo poles. Falling asleep on a wooden platform

[01:43]decked in rugs, we can see the stars through gaps where the roof

[01:48]doesn't quite reach the walls.

[01:54]tug

[01:56]But in garden time, summer has yet to arrive. Our tomatoes are green,

[02:02]the cucumbers don't fall into your hand when you tug, and we've still

[02:07]got last year's dried and canned whatnot lingering in the pantry.
