Here comes the poison truck again!!!

[Smiling JOe]

WTF? the poison truck is making rounds AGAIN! Why don't they just put it in our drinking water? They filled the night with poison only three nights ago? I may file suit against the County one day. They never had my permission to poison me, and on top of that, they charge me in taxes, to pay for it. I cannot sleep with my windows open when they do this crap!!! I just don't get it.

WEE WOO WEE WOO!

BDarg said it smelled like vanilla?? Are they trying to convince us that is is a nice gentle spray?

We saw the poison truck last week as we arrived. Unfortunately, we had the sunroof open and didn't notice the truck until it was too late to close the sunroof.

My husband laughed when I started closing the sunroof in a panic. He's from Madison, WI, and mosquitos are a big problem there. They are so huge that people joke that the mosquito is the state bird of Wisconsin. The reason my husband was laughing is that he said that the "poison truck" came around frequently in his neighborhood, and when he and his friends heard it coming, they would all jump on their bicycles and follow it, trying to get as close as possible to the spray!

Maybe they are monitoring the nuisance insect population and there is an uptick?

BeachRunner your husband is not the only that did that. But we did it on foot as kids. I don't know what we were thinking and where the heck was my mother when i was doing that??

Here is a news story relating to the parish just west of the Mississippi state line...perhaps it relates to conditions in SOWAL as well

That's just plain scary!

But "back in the day" there were no outlet overs to protect toddlers from being shocked, no seatbelts, etc. Women smoked and drank during pregnancy, people thought nothing about eating high-fat foods, etc. For example, when I was a child, we'd have orange juice, a bowl of cereal with fruit and HALF-AND-HALF, two eggs, bacon or sausage, and biscuits or toast with butter, jelly, and red-eye gravy for breakfast every morning.

Obviously there's a whole lot of physical health and safety practices that just didn't exist or weren't known by our mothers or fathers or anyone, for that matter.

But the picture of my husband, you, or any child chasing a pesticide truck is still scary!

Hey BR - I don't think chasing the poison truck stunted Big D's growth or IQ either.

Maybe that's why he's so tall. His parents were both less than 6 feet tall. Or maybe that's why he's so weird -- I mean, how can someone not like ketchup or coffee?
