i don't like crickets

We hit the hundreds and then some today. Davis - in fact the whole of the West - got very hot again. Well, it's July, isn't it. But the bugs have come out, and we're not talking about Cheney's warrantless wiretapping wonderland. I could hear the small buzz of tiny mozzies, hopefully not tanked up on west-nile, and the drone of crickets in the evening. Bugs of all shapes crossing the street, and my path. Tonight one particularly large specimen scuttled across my paperwork, on my desk. Cue wild flapping movements from pete, looking for things to attack this bugzilla with. It escaped my wrath, my shock-and-awe tactics, my yellow-pages, and for this bravery (or rather, for this ability to stay out of harms way) I decided to let it survive, and live in the filing cabinet. Just not to come out when I need something. You see, I'm a benevolent dictator.

You could find three more, lock them up, and make them record Not Fade Away - you'll make millions, man.
Or would you like some fine west coast midges instead?

ha ha ha ... no, you can keep those scottish midges, give me big scary crickets any day.

Maybe the cricket was trying to jump into this beautiful scene and just wanted to be down by the creek. It's beautiful!

he'd be joined by all the mozzies, which though they're not as big as scottish midges (which take bites out of your arm), probably have west nile virus. it'll be aerial spraying season soon.
