Cobwebs, Lady Bugs & Mud

     Today I believe I have walked through 1043 cobwebs.  It did not matter if I had walked from the house to the garage in three minute intervals, each time I went, I walked through cobwebs.

     During those moments of exploration, I flailed my arms and beat off 1093 lady bugs.  OK, so they really are not lady bugs, they are Asian Beetles.  Asian Beetles are somebody's great idea to get rid of some other pesty pest in soybeans.  They may do what they were brought here to do.....BUT.....come harvest time they are nothing short of a menace.  Since they no longer have a soybean plant to cling to, they cling to the doors, windows, and one's self, trying to get inside where it is warm.   They stink, they bite and they are just an all around un-useful pest as far as I'm concerned.

     If you have ever driven late at night during harvest time, when the temps are still what is considered mild in this part of the country, you have probably experienced windshield slaughter.  That is when you have possibly smushed every insect, within a 10 mile radius, on your windshield.  If said smeared bugs are allowed to dry on said windshield, it takes nothing less than a putty knife to get them off.

     So I'm thinking......why not contact one of the automobile paint places and suggest to them to add cobwebs and bug guts to their paint.  Not only will this solve the problem of rust spots on your vehicle, but the body will actually last longer than the engine.  This will cut down on landfill space and make steel last umpteen times longer than originally expected.

     Now for the mud.  It's dang near election time....mid term elections that is.  Since we have to make rules and laws for lack of common sense, why not make one that says:  "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all!"   

     Plead your case.  Tell us why we should vote for you.  Show us how you will make things better.  BUT, whatever you do, do not bring up your opponents dirty laundry!

     We all have skeletons in our closet......before too long....someone will be rattling your bones.
