Cut down the trees!
Just kidding. I seem to remember a nature show on PBS where tree frogs were such a problem that whole neighborhoods were losing sleep.

All I have planned is to do a buttload of reading.
So far I've read... 6 pages. Yeah. I'm so easily distracted.

Cats can be great weapons.
1) Grasp cat firmly by tail 2) Swing quickly around your head to build up speed 3) Whack offender in the face with cat(the cat will take care of the rest) note: BE SURE to complete steps in rapid succession!

I have the TV news on. They're doing a story on the London Olympics.
It's hard to believe it's time for another Olympics.

KILL THE GNATS!
I went on a six mile walk with hubs last night and I walked right into a swarm. I think I swallowed several of them. And now my knees hurt. Not from the gnats, from the walk. Aside: my orchard is infested with lady bugs, which is good because they eat aphids and aphids are like less mobile gnats. KILL THE APHIDS!

Gnats are an excellent source of nutrients. The only problem is, you have to swallow thousands and thousands of them.

So, where are you off to now, Bill? In the fall, I mean.
I know what's you going to do this summer . . . hang around the pool, pretend you're writing, read a little, and hit on girls. That's what I would do anyway.

The cats have all weaseled their way into my room, I think they are hiding from the serial banger. I think I'll trade 'em in for ninja cats.
good day to you, Rob.
