Love is in the air . . . NOT!

This is the time of year our little corner of heaven is generally infested by legions of "love bugs."

If you've ever driven past a body of standing water down here during the months of May or June, you know the little critters I'm talking about.

I've always called them "kamikaze bugs," because they just seem to have a death wish. It's like they seek out moving vehicles on which they can commit mass suicide.

And, their acidic little remains will ruin a paint job in no time.

But, not this year. The air around here is uncharacteristically free of love bugs.

I guess it's the unusually dry spring we had down here.

There's one positive thing to point to when folks blame all the wild fires on the dry weather . . .
