Pesky Skeeters

The summer season has a way of bringing out a few irritants....B movies, bad televisions shows, and pesky mosquitoes.

For some reason...there are those who always get bit by mosquitoes and those who don’t. It might have something to do with the “Sweetness Factor”...which would explain why Wishy gets bit. And also explain...why skeeters don’t mess with this Kat.

I remember back in the day when our neighborhood was sprayed for mosquitoes because they were ruining neighborhood fun. When pesky skeeters do more biting at a backyard barbecue than actual humans...it is cause for concern and drastic action....time to bring out the heavy artillery.

I still have a distant memory of a truck that drove through our neighborhood blasting insecticide through hoses onto our lawns. I can also remember little Johnny chasing after the truck as it rolled down the street.

Anywhoo..............

Just like Hugh Hefner at a LA hot tub party....skeeters have gotten down and dirtier over the years. A 2010 skeeter can carry dirty and deadly diseases.

Apparently there are a few skeeters in southern Massachusetts carrying Triple E. Not to be confused with Triple A...which is far safer and is a very wise idea...especially if you ever need to be towed.

Triple E stands for Eastern Equine Encephalitis. You might as well kiss your candy-ass good-bye if you get bit by the EEE skeeter......the exterminator, expirator, eradicator skeeter.

If you happen to live or vacation in southern Mass...the insecticide used to combat the EEE skeeter was recently spread from small planes. And if you were lucky to get the memo...you were advised to close all your windows, turn-off your A/C, and keep your pets inside. Ahh...nothing like a summer insecticide shower.

With the internet, it’s easy to look up info on the insecticides...which I did. Let me just say...the side effects aren’t pretty. I really hope for your sake that if there is any spraying in your area...you get the memo. But what if you don’t?

Hmmm...that got me thinking...I wonder how little Johnny is doing these days and if he still has all his arms and legs??
