Good thing I can run faster than they can.

Yes, the hornets have a hard time running fast with those tiny little legs. (laugh)

Some friends of my folks were a farmer, and his wife a school teacher in Portland, OR. George found a big hornets nest one day, so they bagged it, gassed it, and cut it down at night. She took it to school for the kids to see, the gassing got everything but the occasional larvae that hatched and came out, scaring the kids [4th graders as I remember] pretty bad. Mary put a cork in the opening of the nest and threatened to pull it out when the kids got too unruly; she had taken it home over a weekend for a more thorough kill of the larvae. Apparently it worked well to keep the class in line.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
