I hate houseflies. Get out of my tea cup - Dag-Nab-it ! This morning, while writing a post for Persona Paper, which, by the way is a great place to write but you will earn no money, only the respect of others who write there. A housefly flew in our home a few weeks ago along with several of it's buddies. The next door neighbor has some standing water I think, or perhaps we do. The City only picks up trash one day every week. So trash remains in a roll cart with a lid but that means for the other 6 days of the week, trash mounts up in the neighborhood and of course, that creates a habitat for flies. I managed to ZAP about 6 of those bugs with a device that looks entirely like a mid-size tennis racket. The other ones tend to want to fly right in my face while I eat. I got so angry a few days ago I went all over the house with that ZAPPER raquet. I was never able to get the fly to stand still long enough to electrocute the buggar. So I was having some Prince Of Peace OOlong tea and after half-way finishing drinking it, that stupid fly flew right inside my cup. i got up and screamed bloody murder and my wife told me to hush the heck up and I got up and poured the cup of remaining tea into the sink and cold rinsed it. I just made a second cup of UNKNOWN TEA, - a tea bag from some other country, that I was given by a friend who worked with a designer group at an international tea expose. He had brought back over 30 different packages of herbal tea from around the planet. This one however does not have a tag and I have no earthly idea what kind it is. Before I have that tea, I will first find that elusive fly and ZAP the holy crap out of it with my bug zapper!
