The topic: Where did they all come from?

----------------------------------------------

Okay, it's hot, I think I've established that fact. So, in the early morning, we've been opening up all the screen doors because we get a better airflow. And the garage door is open to help with airflow there. As the day heats up, I close the doors.

I don't know what was going on yesterday, but we had a buttload of flies. I'm serious. Flies all over the kitchen and laundry room. A few in the rest of the house, a more plentiful spillover into the dining room, but nothing like in those two rooms. 

So, I got out my handy dandy electric fly swatter and went to work. I must have killed over fifty flies in the space of an hour. Their dead carcasses were just laying there until I swept them into a paper towel and into the trash.

I can't remember ever having this many flies in the house. It was weird and creepy. I understand the ants, but the flies? 

No clue. 

This morning was much better than yesterday.

The topic: Hi!

----------------------------------------------

Well, if you've been wondering where I am, I am not in the office. It's stinky hot here (again) and I'm staying out of this part of the house as much as possible so I'm not tempted to run the air conditioner and run up the electric bill (we just got another rate increase, screw the customers, shareholders need their money). 

But today I will be back here because I need to get some paperwork done and the extended weather isn't showing any let up on the heat. 

Today, I will turn on the a/c.

I actually considered writing a letter to President Obama and complain to him about the weather we've been having. After all, from what I've read on the interwebs, he's responsible for everything unpleasant everywhere. And this weather is certainly unpleasant.

Just kidding. I know it's not his fault, it's the Koch brothers. (Now, that I could believe.)
