Why put your daughter "Pam" on the front of the car? You would need a seat belt ? Better to try putting your cat there. ..........Sincerely Emily Latella......from the grave - the great beyond!

Joy will turn sour, like dust in your throat. The skies will be choked with seething hordes of bugs and windshields everywhere will cry out in anguish as they are smeared with greasy exoskeletons.

Oh, enjoy the day indeed, fear for the future.

I screwed up the undercoat and got some small rust marks coming through. Those WERE the "happy days"! And the VW buses were EVEN more "way cool dude"!

Mays invasion was not that bad. Havent seen one yet

My guess is the esteemed and benevolent developer..all praises and blessings be upon them...have found a way to get rid of them. They ruin two months of selling houses.

It IS realized, of course, that there are not as many mosquitoes in TV Land as there should be considering the many lakes, rain, and water nearby. So, goes the mosquito and so goes the Love Bugs. There ARE some eradication methods being used. We hope that it does not eradicate our immunity systems and give us more cancer than otherwise.

Actually they are late. Usually here for the whole month but I’ve only seen 3 “couples” this month. Guessing it’s going to be very light this year. 🥳

Whenever they come out… in my opinion, it is always too soon.

Having experienced a few hatches in the times we rented, not looking forward to that part of moving permanently to TV. Oh well, at least it isn't locusts or fish falling from the sky. LOL
