Waynes amazing story And Pictures got me to thinking of an incident when I was working in Louisianna building a Chenical plant.....this is no where as amazing as his mailbox, but a bit funny:
I had to go out where al the men and women were working that worked for our electrical company to hunt up some elctrical tools and ladders to inspect them. Understand it was almost spring but still quite cool in the mornings and I had on thermal underware, T-shirt, long sleeve shirt, Jeans, steel toed boots, hard hat, heavy Carhart coat, leather gloves, as I get cold easy and safety glasses over regular glasses. I had a clipboard and a meter for testing, color coded electrical tape, pen and coffe mug. I walked up on a work site and began looking in the gang boxes full of tools when out of no where I heard buzzzzzing. I am allergic to Bee's. I began looking for where the buzzzing was coming from. All of a sudden one bee flew down my shirt, and one in my hard hat and one inside my safety glasses. Epi-pen is far away back in my office. So without regard for those around me...I threw my meter, my clipboard, and pen. Then I began to take off my hard hat, which I threw, then my safety glasses that I threw God knows where......and then I started shucking clothes. Coat went first, then my Shirt then my T-shirt...I have no Idea what made me stop and pop up my head and look, but there was 1/2 my crew staring at me. I stopped short of stripping to my Bra and grabed the bottom edge of my Thermal shirt and shook the bee out. And would you believe I never got stung from one of them. How lucky is that? Love Oma

May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance
Yes, you were lucky. Usually when those suckers start diving into your clothes, they're up to no good. I'm usually not that lucky.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
