This is another one of those strips where I think I was the inspiration behind it. If there is a fly in our house I will not sit down until it's dead. I have my fly swatters at the ready.
I can't tell you why I have this obsession but the fact is I do have it.
Flying insects are not a big issue this time of year as mother nature still has not made up her mind if it's winter, spring, or summer. Thus it is most likely to be below freezing in the morning and by 3:00 PM it's in the mid 50's. If the sun is shining the bugs start moving. This morning I saw a beetle swimming in my dogs (Baby) water bowl. It ended up being a beatle. I rinsed it out and turned on the garbage disposal. Much to my surprise it made it out about a half hour later. This time I returned it to the great outdoors.
It was a good reminder to get out the bug spray and go around the foundation of the home to renew the barrier that stopped them from getting in last fall and winter.
The mere mention of the word "Barrier" reminds of a song by Planet P Project called Behind The Barrier. This LP has some terrific driving (traveling) music. The LP is a story like Tommy by the who.
