I was a little miffed when...

I was a little miffed when... the city of Edmonton said they sprayed for mosquito's just after I got rid of them.

Yesterday they found dinasour bones under the Quenell (sp?) bridge. You remember the one I did 3 360 degree spins plus one 180 degree spin on back in the 80's after the Rocky Horror Picture show at the Mayfield Inn? A blonde lawyer witnessed it and said it looked like something out of a James Bond movie. I digress.

Today I saw potentially damaging insect infestation. Flying Ant Locusts for lack of a better definition. They don't eat the green grass and dandilion leaves but seem to lick it and smear squiqly trails on the concrete leading up to a 6 inch puddle where their young feed. I rumped them out with my steel toed boots because they were distracting me.

About 1/2 hour later when Joe FM played the song "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson for 500 bucks they flew off in a herd. Only 1,000 flew away and a couple hundred stayed behind to keep licking the grass and dandylion leaves.

Given their reproductive strategies and the fact ants appear scared of them (one approached the nest of 100 but couldn't breach the line) there is good potential for black outs and traffic accidents by confused / terrified motorists. Hopefully bus drivers will be well trained on this and luckily the subway drivers can't turn off the tracks.

I thought of calling 9/11 but the last time I called (it's all recorded) they said Shaw Conference Parking Lot is "private property" and "they can do anything they want to". The police seem to forget about the 80 million dollars it cost me to built the place slated to slide into the North Saskatchewan River (according to engineers in that day). *shrugs*.

Oh I remember the 40 grand the police have gotten off of me over the decades because I'm in a soap opera and they are paid to follow and punish me. Not all police of course as there are 6,000 officers in this city of 1,000,000 and some have said they can just not see me.

Speaking of women, a couple of strangers during the initial divorce battles (1998/1999) did say something like "all divorces are different". I now have a greater appreciation of this meaning a decade later. So not all women are evil.
