The area of Pennsylvania I live in is prolific with magificent vistas...You can look in any direction and be wowed by some part of God's magnificent creation...
But like life itself, there is an element of imperfection or taint noticeable in just about every 'natural canvas'..."Adam, why did you have to go ahead and eat that fruit...you couldn't have been hungry..."
This year, what taints our area's countryside, are those God forsaken tent caterpillars...you see them everywhere...it's almost as if high fuel prices have a cause and effect relationship with tent caterpillars...both are ugly and reprehensible...and both share center stage right now...
Will tent caterpillars just slowly go away like slowly declining fuel prices...or will nature's demand for them increase their supply?
Whatever the case I hope they go away never to return...and quickly...certainly before the upcoming election...before a winning party has a chance to legislate their protection as an endangered species!!!
Does anyone know what 'good' they do...what redemptive act sustains their existence...and what about all the vegetation they destroy!
And whatever happened to the tent caterpillars 'natural enemy'...isn't there supposed to be some bird, or bat, or owl, or some other much more admirable species that is a 'natural predator' of tent caterpillars...and if so, where the heck have they been...
Their 'natural enemies' seem to have gone the way of the 'no doc' or 'stated income' loan...they're nowhere to be found!
Whatever the case may be, I have had my fill of them and I get rid of them whenever possible...I hope you'll do the same...
Oh, and by the way, please remember to vote this November!
Fran we took a ride today and I saw this and thought of you- We do not see many but.... They are here too...
