Knock that sucker down! The original wasps won't come back but something else might move in.

Thanks. Luna was a remarkably affectionate cat. She wouldn't hesitate to greet guests and strangers in the house. She would even sidle up to strangers on the sidewalk or across the street looking for a good rub down. It's strange that she died on Tuesday and all these reports are coming out...

I am an arachnaphobe, though my fear has decreased significantly with age. That being said, jumping spiders for whatever reason never triggered any fear in me. I've always been comfortable with them and pretty much just let them be. My property has a large black widow population for some...

Those precautions were to prevent sabotage and accidental fires. There were no incidents of leaking hydrogen in airships being accidentally ignited that I am aware of. The Hindenburg situation had a lot going on. Yes the gas chambers ruptured, but that occurred after the initial incident as far...

Woah woah woah! 👐 Who said anything about a fire? That was just a 🤔.......... thermal anomaly, yeah that's it 😀 Nothing to see here people, move along.
