'Iles bpgone,
Ms the time of year! Vor What?, you ask. Flies!
Those ugly, dirty little insects that are so pesky.
hate them at any time, but when fall carne's around
those flies are my worst enemy. They make my blood
boil, my temper explode! They seem to multiply
overnight as they hang out near doorways doing their
best to gain entry to a warm environment.
If they do gain. entry, they are so stupid - trying to
fly in your ear, enter your mouth or land on your eye-
lashes, They land on my computer monitor, and flit
• around my fingers as they fly across the keyboard.
Enough is enough!
Shooing is not working, so they are now in fin- big
trouble. The Rambler is armed•With pest control -
rolled up newspaper. Before I can do them bodily
injury, they disappear. 1 guess they .aren't that sitini,d
afterall.
Back to the keyboard, the grey matter is at work.
Buzzz - they're back! They know the rolled up weapon
has been laid down. • .
Okay, now they're really asking for it; A search of
the office and 1 am
armed with the FLY
SWATTER! Wonder
• who invented that.
Thank you!.

to' the keyboard. -The
front office door opens and the onslaught begins again. '
At home the scene'is almost the same. Flies. are so
stupid that after you shoo them'away from anything
you are trying to eat or drink, they return immediately.
• My swatter is handy at honk. The only problem - it
has a slight concave in therniddle and. when my aim is,
on, thefly always seems to escape. Bet that little suck-
er is laughing as it watches me batting the air trying to
catch them in flight:
And what can be Inore annoying then being cud-
dled up in your blankets and .drifting off to dreamland
and being disgustingly disturbed by a fly landing on
your nose, forehead or lips? Such disturbances are not
conducive to a good night's Sleep.
I'm told the flies will soon be gone. 1 guess .it's
some consolation. But believe you me, there will he
