Speaking of Bees and Hornets and Yellow Jackets. . . there are about a million of them at Robinson Park right now! The in-laws have been here all week (leaving tomorrow! Huzzah! You didn't hear me say that...), and they stayed at the Robinson Park RV hookup spots in their camper. We went out there last Friday with the 2 year-old to hang out and we all ended up having to leave into town because the flying stingy creatures were too much. Fortunately, our little guy isn't allergic, but he really got the brunt of it. Now he is deathly afraid of flies!<br>
<br>I don't know who runs that place, but they should really do something about that...<br><br>-Reggie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 5:05 PM, Paul Rumelhart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:godshatter@yahoo.com">godshatter@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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>
