I ran in to a nest of yellow jackets.By the time I made it to the house I had about 12 to 13 stings. Six or so came in the house with me. I had a few more stings before I killed them. I stayed inside for awhile and watched out the window. The air was full of them. My right eye is still about half closed. I do not remember yellow jacket stings bothering me that much. These must be some hybrid version.<br>
I am not sure where their nest is, so I am done with that project until it gets cold or until next year.<br>Roger<br><br>=======================================================<br>List services made available by First Step Internet,<br>
