I have some friends from Austria visiting this week. Since my dog Stretch is known to be a show-off...he was demonstrating his digging skills. That little rascal dug up a hornets nest and they swarmed...they were pissed. He was stung three times...once on the end of his nose and once on his left paw, and once close to his Johnson. I took four on my forehead, two on my left ear, and two on my right leg. One of my friends took a couple on the arm. The true definition of breaking for cover was illustrated.

Anyway, I called my good buddy Yabu for advice and he said "torch em'". I filled up the hole Stretch dug with gas...found their back door...filled it up as well...and fired 'em up. They are now toast. Good thing I had a hundred foot hose close by, or I would've burned down the neighborhood.

Yabu did not explain "overkill".

All is well in the Brier Patch.

Yikes. I hate when that happens. I once stepped into yellowjacket nest. They were in my clothes. Gave the neighbors quite a thrill to see me running through the yard taking my shirt off.

The five-year-old learned what fire ants are whilst we were in Ark last week! Not a fun hands-on (or should I say feet-on?) lesson for her, but for a kid who just doesn't listen I guess she did learn!

... any man who would let hornets nest in his yard is a pretty sorry sumbitch...... I love you, sure, but I'm just sayin...... especially if that somebody has a beautiful hogleg, a blackgun, AND lots of explosive disposable lighters....... and gasoline for a Mercedes.....

.... brother, there is lazy..... and then there is LAZY..... you be the latter, friend......
