Thought for Today

"Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?"

Thought for Today (and since it's raining here in Rochester, very appropriate)

"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

After Carol P's uplifting thought for today (we always dance in the rain here...), I thought I would lower the tone with the following. Cannot remember how much of it is someone else's quote and how much I have modified... anyway... I will share:

"When we humans have finally ruined pretty much everything, the only things left on Earth will be wood lice, earwigs and Barry Manilow records."

And we Rochester falcon watchers near and far should be dancing rain or shine for we have 2 pair of beeeautiful Peregrine Falcons!

You, too?  Man, we are under assault right now.  Of course it is hot enough that I shut the windows and put the AC back on, so that should help keep them out.

One landed on me yesterday...they are all over and YES we have our AIR back on too. Tomorrow 87!

My sister has stink bugs in Arkansas too! We don't have them here in western NY that I know of.  I took my air conditioner out of the window for the year last weekend. Hope I don't regret it. High of 87 here too tomorrow. Yikes!

You sister's stinkies are the native kind - the ones that are driving us crazy in the Mid-Atantic (and in the Pacific Northwest) arrived in packing material from China!  WooHoo!  Another invasive species!  Although these guys aren't on the scale with zebra mussels or asian carp, but they haven't wiped out our crops yet.

We have the zebra mussels in Lake Ontario but I don't think the Asian Carp have invaded yet. I hope they don't cuz it would change the lake/s forever.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.  The important thing is not to stop questioning."

Bed Bug epidemic going on here right now. NY is giving away beg bug kits. How awful is that?

Little Stinkers....bad boys! STINK BUG!!

Most of you know I work at Home Depot (my "retirement" position, haha).  I'd say that AT LEAST 60% of the people who come in the door the past week or so are looking for something, ANYTHING, that might get rid of them.  The whole town stinks.  I keep a snack size Pringles can in the house, and every time I spot one, in it goes.  Apparently they have no natural enemies.  A friend says her dog EATS them.  Imagine what the dog smells like now!  Another friend says her cat plays with them, and now the cat stinks too.  Thank Goodness my cats ignore them.
