We got them so bad on the boat last week that we had to cut the trip short. It was like Hitchcock's The Birds in miniature, and the more you killed, the more would appear. |
|
However the drought here is bringing about ants and rats, so whata gonna do? |
Yeah, it's hot as fuck right now too, Patrick, and there's a thunderstorm going on right now that's supposed to cool things down, but it looks like a pretty half-hearted thunderstorm here. Did you see any subway rats while you were here? |
|
Tons of them. People are bitching because they have to clean thier windshields off all the time... |
Between the hours of eleven and three I collapse in a torpor, as naked as I can get, on the bed with all the windows open and a fan going. No flies, sewer rats, or butterflies, though. |
I saw a beautiful black and blue butterfly yesterday which I'd never seen, mostly black with some blue markings. |
every night i was there it thunderstormed in the evening. it blew in right around 6ish, especially last friday, the bottom fell out, lightning, thunder (havent seen or heard that in years) and then it would quit by 8 and the moon would come out. last night sitting on our porch, around midnight, getting moon tans, look at the clear skies, watching 'shooting stars', bathing in the cool breeze i realized yet again, thinking of the shit in NYC, why i love god damn California. What the hell you doin in Oakland platy? |
It's sort of odd--since the sky is orange, I never see the stars. |
Girl, you is pampered, 'n' shit. |

I'ts been nice and cool here the last couple of days after the thunderstorms Ophelia mentions above. |
|
Had a record-breaker in Billings - 109. Missoula saw 104. Doesn't even start to cool down until 10:00PM when the sun sets. My apartment is my cave. It's arctic at work though. Have to bring a jacket or I get too cold to type. The heat has backed down a little bit now. Thunderstorms in the mountains every night. Getting some smoke from the yearly fires, too. That helps make it a touch cooler. |
|
Sorry Platypus, my mistake. |
Although now that I've made such a big distinction, it's cloudy and cold here this morning. Go figure. |
as fer the greenheads...we dont have those here..but we do have roaches. BIG ONES. in the summer if you walk down the sidewalk they're all over the place. they aren't dirty like the little ones that get into apartments..they're just bugs..but if you aren't used to em, they'll freak you the hell out. lately there seems to be a bunch of cicadas too. i was all terrified of em when i first moved down south but now they're kinda growing on me. (not "growing" on me) cuz they're really loud at night and it kind of reminds you of where you live. |
After a while their constant noise just puts you to sleep. |
