Post Diversity Project Volume 1, Thread 1.

.. Man, I'm laying in bed late last night, Giants were getting murdered so bad I actually turned it off, and start watching X-Files which turns out to be the last 2 episodes of season 9....anyway, I've gotten in the habit this year of leaving the front door open w/o the screen door in because for whatever reason it hasn't been a bad year for insects - an occasional hornet or yellowjacket will venture in but are easily escorted out. Neighbor's cats like to stop in to visit occasionally, that sort of thing, nothing much more than that. But fuckall if last night a housefly didn't come in and make a pest of itself. So my reflexes aren't bad, sure I've slowed down a bit but I figure I can time this thing, swat it with my hand and be rid of it.....easier said than done. SLAP, pretty sure I got it, nope must have just missed. Again, barely escapes. On the sheets now - I know I got it, didn't see it fly off, but where is it.
..I'm pretty sure they can always time it to appear a close contest, when in reality ya never have a chance - okay, maybe occasionally you get one. About a half hour of this and I go to the kitchen and get the witch's broom. First swat and my adversary falls mortally wounded - just in time for me to catch the Jillian Anderson nude scene.

Another thing this year - Fruit flies which are usually horrible through the summer have been completely absent. What could it be?....

..Could it be Ayyyyleeeeins?

Maybe John Coffey came by and inhaled all the fruit flies?

Not a lot of flies around here, these days ... or maybe it's my location. There will be an occasional fly that gets in when I go out to smoke a cigarette. They fly around and give themselves a heart attack.

Occasionally when one is in the kitchen, I open the fridge door, and if it flies in I shut the door, later to find it dead dead dead.

I'm very happy to see that this highly relevant, socially important, hip, happening and now topic is gaining traction. Is it not something everyone, old, young, tall, small, square or round can relate to?

The war rages on. If there's 3, I can always get two after a little trying.
...but somehow one always escapes. MUTHERFUCKER !~

Today I got one with the frigerator trick and 3 more appeared. Got two but that last one isn't distracted by it's mates and gets away.

I am seriously considering ordering a delux fly swatter. Dish rags aren't cutting it.
If you wet the business end you gen a little more speed. That's my strategy at the moment.

This has nothing to do with cock sucking or bad guys from neighboring boards.

.THIS IS REAL LIFE !

PS: on my way to pick up my car after inspection - which it passed with flying colors...
...there were rescue and fire vehicles racing in the direction of my home.

I reflected on my home insurance policy, and walked on confidently.
