What bugs me?
Cats: Uncategorized|Mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies, moose flies and any other airborne insect that bites and gives me itchy welts.
They have no respect. You leave a door opened and they come in.
And then they start grazing your flesh and sucking your blood. Vampires!
But I have the ultimate weapon.
The fly swatter. And I WILL use it. Oh yes, dear flies. That last bite you take from me could very well end up being your Last Supper.
And then I will have the last laugh.
What bugs you?

“dear flies?”
Is that an insect column?
Seriously, you’ve been a bit too relaxed since you’ve been on vacation. This is the second typo I’ve seen on your blog since your vacation started and that’s so not like you. Where’s the angry, stressed, non-typo Typist that we all know and fear, er, love?

Which is worse, having your veins sucked dry by blood-thirsty insects while on vacation or by blood-thirsty corporate vampires while in the city? No matter where you go, somebody wants a piece of you.

Gigantic, beautiful windows. No screens. What’s up with that Germany?!? Add that to the mutated ginormous flys, and other assortment of weird bugs that find their way into the house.
It’s hard to relax with all of that buzzing and flittering around.

Well, it’s New York, so…roaches. I saw one this morning. I opened the front door to leave for work and he scurried in. I was running too behind to try to catch him and kill him. Plus, I was grossed out. No matter how many of them I’ve seen since I’ve been here, they always give me the heebie jeebies.

This is why I surf the net so much. The only bugs are in software and not on my skin.

What you need:
2 hand held electric zappers (tennis racket shape)
1 insect trap and with dehydrator (ultra violet light with fan)
1 no-see-um net (for draping over bed)
Beer.
This should keep the little buggers at bay. The beer just helps, as it does with most other things in life.
