Yeah, the peak stink bug invasion started here a month ago. Then slowed. Replaced four days ago the first waves of the lady bug invasion. Best advice – keep your mouth closed outside. Move all conversations inside.

lol where you at, Blink. That’s warm weather problems here. Crickets and animals moving into attics now. Sounds like the Love Bug probs in Louisiana.
We’re having rain and it’s going down to 31 degrees tonight. One of the sucky things Texas can offer is 6 hours for Fall weather. A/C in the morning and heat needed same day.
Hey, I LOVE sweet pickles — in the right menu. What about sweet bread and butter pickle chips or sweet relish on a hot dog with mustard and onion or a tiny sweet gerkin along side a ham sandwich?
…but then I’m from the generation that likes beets and pickled herring and liverwurst and anchovy pizza.
Scary enough for you?

Redgrandma, my Mom woulda’ loved you. Well, except for the pizza with the sewer trout. I’d get her a jar of pickled herring and she’d be in Heaven.

When the Gestapo comes to take your guns, remain silent and don’t consent to a search.
Act dumb. If pressed, hint that your guns may have been lost or stolen or sold.

As long as we’re on the subject of pickles, yes, there’s line that should never be crossed. I stopped going to my favorite burger place when they replaced the dill slices with bread and butter pickles. The horror. Rooned the burger.

Ya know… you can rig the gas pump without a trigger lock with your gas cap. I’ve done that numerous times. In some cases it doesn’t flow as fast, but it does feel great to out smart those gas stations that mess around with those things.

Bugs. Here in MI, we are done with stink bugs. But the first two weeks after moving into my new house, I kept getting lethargic yellow jackets in my bedroom. Must have flushed about 20-30 of them. Will have to call a bugman for next spring when they start waking up. I’m not sharing my room with them!
Pickles, Mom used to can both Bread and Butter AND Dill pickles. Love them both.

@Do4 [lol where you at, Blink.] Hey, Honest Abe knew how to cheat to win reelection. I’m in the state he improperly created to get in the bag extra electoral college votes before the midterm election. Which he feared he might lose. Anyway, cool weather that brings fall colors is running about 3 week late this year.

Just heard a great horror story on Rush. In Calif. Tesla and other electric car owners are { get this} charging their cars with gas powered generators. Insurance against being caught with a low charge car due to rolling blackouts if fires surround their home or other location. Oh the horror of doing that. And the second round of horror explaining what you did away at lunch with your lefty nutjob friends.
And what a horror story the Kurdish guy must have. You know, the guy that pinched Al Baghdadi’s skivvies. He probably had to handle those babies without a hazmat suit. Wearing one may have raised some suspicions and an unpleasant future. But facing the horror AB was identified, and died running in terror from a hated dog.
Man I love these!
God I Hate Sweet Pickles!
