Just relaxing before bedtime!

I wanna dream about Mr Frey tonight and going on the Border at bedtime often results in this!

Z - it is a truck with a big container mounted on the back & it shoots out a fine spray of mosquito insecticide. The trucks go up & down the streets in the middle of the night spraying. You can always hear them coming down the street. When I was growing up they used to spray in the early evening. I wonder if they stopped spraying at that time because us kids used to run behind the truck in the mist. I think I only did it a couple of times before my parents found out and put a stop to it. Thank goodness!

However I bet you cannot find many kids in the South who at one time or another did NOT run behind a mosquito spray truck during the summer! Or at least those of my age.

wow...I never knew there was such a thing...I guess we don't have those up here...

Yes welcome to life in H-town in the summer! Where you can pass out from the heat & then be carried off by the mosquitoes. But seriously the mosquitoes carry encephalitis & the West Nile virus so the city takes mosquito control seriously. I'm sure mosquito control is done everywhere in the South.
Last year the mosquito problem was not bad here since we were in such a drought.
Sorry Z, I'm sure you were not expecting a tutorial in mosquitoes.

I had never heard of mosquito trucks either! How funny.

As an European (that used to live for some time in PA and WI, surely not the southern states ) I find it informative and interesting! Thanks, HB.

HB, I can't believe kids did that! Ick!

I'm at work and getting ready to go to the post office. So exciting!

Yes Brooke, it doesn't make us kids sound too bright!
