| - Grasshoppers - |
The topmost thing I don't miss about summer is BUGS. I'm afraid that when I'm walking through the yard, pulling grasshoppers out of my hair, that one is going to jump up and scratch my eye.
Then, of course, there are mosquitoes, chiggers, ants, moths, etc.
Every morning, before I make coffee, I take a little flashlight and shine it into the water reservoir to make sure a flying ant or tiny beetle hasn't gotten trapped inside. That was a disgusting lesson learned.
I guess I spoke too soon about the burn ban. I'm glad to be wrong.
The local NOAA* weather radio station is back on air as of yesterday. It's been off since right after the big June 8 Rotan storm. I read somewhere they were upgrading equipment.
I'm not sure if KTXS is fully back on air since the station was torn up during that same storm. I kept checking in for a while, but nothing was coming up. I like to tune in when the weather gets bad and see what Mark Rowlett has to say.
