Re: ughhhh! bugs!!!

Ruth and I lived near Branson, MO for 7 years - we left there
nearly 3 years ago. Our home was in a rural area on a typical
Ozarks ridge.

We put up with all kinds of creepy crawly things, including
copperhead snakes, rattlers, etc. Armadillos dug the yard up
during the dark of night. Local deer weren't afraid of anything,
once or twice chased our lil Schnauzer. Ha! Coyotes wandered
around...

But my WORST pests were chiggers. They are a form of tiny
spider, almost invisible to the naked eye. I was out picking
poke greens one day - a few hours later I started itching
everywhere from the waist down. It seems chiggers burrow their
heads into the skin and, on humans, promptly die. There is
nothing to be done at that point - try and ease the agony with
calamine lotion, antihistamines, I guess... In a week or so you
get back to normal. In the meantime, I lived a life of misery...

I didn't pick any more poke greens after that experience...

Before we head west to escape the heat; I'd best do this or
she'll never speak to me again. I am referring to the rituals
that designate a Bomber Babe birthday. You know, the tipping of
the ol' propeller beanie and the singing or shouting "Happy
Birthday!". And she is a Bomber Babe, make no mistake about
that. I certainly hope her current husband treats her to a good
dinner tonight (so she doesn't wilt in a hot kitchen). He has
been known to think that McDonald's is the epitome of haut
cuisine; come on man give the Olive Garden a try. On that note
let me wish Jeanette DUNCAN ('54) the happiest returns of the
day.

      weather guessers can't make up their minds on what 
      yesterday's high temp was.

middle daughter's name is Deadra, but her family name is 
DeDe. When she was younger I would call her DeDe WEENIE 
CHILLI!! Oh how she would pitch a fit!! But I loved teasing
her!! She is now a great mom of 2 beautiful daughters & a great
husband!!
