Swollen Eyeballs
A little bit of excitement just occured. There was a hornet's nest in one of the bushes in the front lawn. I haven't seen hornets like these one. Huge things with black and white stripes. Really evil looking. Anyways, a guy came to get rid of it. Not, you know, a insect guy, but a guy who does lawn care around the neighbourhood. His idea for getting rid of the nest was to whack it with a rake. This was surprisingly more effective than you would have thought. After about two good baseball type swings, the nest was mostly gone, just a small piece left hanging on a branch. So he got in closer to get a good angle on it, took another swing, and promptly got bitten...in his eyeball. OWWWWW. I think he'll be alright-the hornet didn't really get a good shot at him, but that's certainly something I never want to go through.

Hey, and Andrew, I'm excited for the next installment of your vacation. Bring on the biker lobster bars!
