Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it. I could barely believe it myself and yet I must because it is true and it is simply silly to not believe what is true. On Friday night, just before leaving for dinner I discovered two dead flies in my shower and one living fly in my shower. I took drowned the living fly, which made three dead flies. I also noticed a faint but strange odor. Deciding to nip this in the bud or, at the very least, to bud this in the nip, I called the people who took care of the bees in the shower several months ago. They came out yesterday and had a look. By that time there were three or four flies in the shower and the smell had gotten really bad – it was and is quite obvious that there was a dead something up on the roof or environ and this dead something was attracting flies who were somehow going through the vent into the shower. Unfortunately, the exterminators could not find the dead something – apparently the dead something is lodged somewhere in a little crawlspace between the top of the air vent and the part that comes into the shower. So, there is nothing to be done until the dead something decomposes (hopefully in the key of D) – he put some powder on the roof and in the vent and that will keep the flies away. Meanwhile, he recommended that I get Lysol air-freshener and disinfectant. I did, and that really seems to have helped the odor. He also suggested using my other shower for the next two or three days, which I am. By then, he feels all will be well.
Wasn’t that a fine dead something story and also a fine fly story? Yesterday, we had the Zen Zone, today we have the No-Fly Zone.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because today I shall be going with my friend Grant Geissman, and we will be paying a visit to the same book fair I paid a visit to yesterday.
I had a lovely visit with my brother yesterday. We ate a lovely lunch at Islands (where we had a lovely waiter) and then we had a lovely long walk and then I drove him to the lovely airport.
Remember, today Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up and it’s the Jeepers Creepers show and we’ll be playing lots of tracks and having a high old time. Give a listen and post about it. Also, our Unseemly Live Chat is tomorrow at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time and those who have been errant and truant this weekend (too many to list – you know who you are) simply must show up to atone for their errant and truantness.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must relax and eat, not necessarily in that order, whilst, of course, staying on my diet. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you get to make the topics and then you get to discuss the topics and so do I. So, let’s have loads of lovely posts to make up for our rather light day yesterday, shall we?
