you, me, and the meth head makes three

[thez]

There's a "neighborhood meeting" happening on Wednesday evening, and I was thinking of attending out of sheer curiosity, but I keep picturing the whole meeting being me, the head of the neighborhood council, a crazy cat lady, and possibly a meth head who wandered in off the street.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I'M UP FOR THAT SORT OF NONSENSE.


ALSO

I went downstairs to do my laundry a day or two ago.

The washing machine was already open, so I grabbed a handful of clothes and made a free-throw into the tub AND A SWARM OF MOSQUITOES FLEW OUT.

A SWARM. OF MOSQUITOES.

I have lived in the desert since I was three years old. I have never seen that many mosquitoes in one place before in my life. HOLY SHIT A SWARM I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY DO THAT I guess it makes sense that they would but HOLY SHIT.

I jumped away and hit the back of my head on the electrical meter, and through the grace of some sort of deity I came out of that nightmare with ZERO mosquito bites. Usually if there is one mosquito in a square mile of me he will find me and I will end up with 13 bites, but I face down a whole swarm and NOTHING.

Merry Laundry Day!

The lesson here is: never leave the house.

So that's where all the skeeters went!

I was wondering why we didn't run into any in Yosemite this year.

THEY ALL WENT INTO MY WASHING MACHINE.

WHILE YOU WENT TO YOSEMITE.

AND Z DID NOT.

Life is not fair.

But I DID go to the Grand Canyon, so I guess that almost evens out.

EXCEPT FOR THE MOSQUITOES IN THE WASHING MACHINE.

GASP! I think that's worse than coming home to a cockroach on the wall every damn night, if such is possible. (Quits whining) Hey, that's awesome you got out of it without any bites...

I would honestly rather encounter a swarm of cockroaches, because cockroaches do not SUCK MY BLOOD and they are cute besides.

Not so cute that I wouldn't kill any I found in the apartment because those suckers breed like mad, but still 1000 times better than mosquitoes.
