Spring in Texas means a couple
of different things. One is the return of the ever popular love
bugs. Now I'm from Florida so I know a little something about love
bugs. Its been over ten years since I've had to deal with them due
to living in Georgia, but now here we are in east Texas and (insert
picture of Jack Nicholson bursting through a door) “Their Back”.
Yes I had forgotten how many of those little buggers there were no
matter where you run.
I also now remember how tough
they are to scrub off your windshield. No fun, that's for sure. At
times you could look up and see nothing but a black swarm coming at
you. Well not completely black, but you get the idea. The only
good thing about love bugs is they only hang around for a little
while. Thank goodness they are gone, at least for another year.
Now, a new experience for us has
been the June Bug. I know its just now June. The bugs come in
waves. First wave showed up mid April and were gone by the first of
May. Everybody from around here or who has been here at least one
full year kept telling me “you just wait, it's not even June yet”
Oh boy, I don't believe I can wait. These stupid bugs are
everywhere. Really I think somebody could easily make a horror movie
about these guys.
These things get everywhere, and
I mean everywhere. They fly and not in a straight line, kind of
willy nilly all over the place. You can spend quite a bit of your
day swatting them out of your hair or off your clothes. Pour some
water on the ground and before long its covered in bugs. Look off in
the distance and it looks like the ground is moving.
Luckily for the time being
they’re not back yet. Again I can't wait. But I hear they will
return. Whats the purpose of these things? Nobody seems to know,
and I don't care as long as they leave ASAP.
And lastly Three weeks. Now I'm
just venting so bear with me. Where I'm working this summer it seems
we can't get anything finished. Either we need to order more
materials or a special part or its raining so hard you can't see 5
feet in front of you. I've also been told it never rains in Texas,
yea whatever. It seems whatever the problem is, the standard
answer always seems to be, It will be here in Three Weeks. Maybe
that's why nothing seems to be getting done. Just Sayin.
Sorry no pictures. If you want to see what they look like, Goggle is your friend. I've seen enough for my lifetime.
Be Safe Out There And I Hope To See You Down The Road
