    Found some of the dang laddie beetles in the house. Turns out my wife brought them in from outside. They eat the aphids on her plethora of plants she has in the house, she told me that she didn't have to spend $50 on spray and the bugs have taken out the aphids. Who knew?

    If you're talking lady bugs, They are worse than mice. Come fall, we have thousands of them in our camper. Even if we spray for them. They also BITE (lil bastages!) Choice of paying $50 or introducing pests anywhere, I'd pay the money twice over. Wishing you luck!

    You only brought a dozen or so in, they won't live much longer. I am surprised how indoor plants get bugs, evidently is a constant battle.

    I drive 64 mph from my house to the freeway, 79mph on the freeway I don't get tailgated much. Then again I am a pro commuter I respect the left lane and will accelerate to clear the zone for any idiot that wants to drive faster than me.

    Have some ice forming around the shore and the trumpeter swans have moved in, they sleep on the ice fun to watch they are so massive.

    I drive early in the AM on the radio you tend to hear a lot of PSAs especially in rural areas. I have been hearing a PSA for Autism Speaks, Dale Varendoe for about two years. This morning our first hire thru Autism Speaks started work. we have a couple products that are perfectly set up for our hire. I see us hiring more people thru them.
