Got a Fly, Oasis State Park, Portales NM, November 1, 2011
Got a fly
In a swatting frenzy before I flew out of Oasis this morning I broke my hi-zoot designer swatter with the big comfort grip handle and light plastic head.
Met a guy here at Sumner Lake who opened his door (at another park) and in came 145 flies. Wish I had only a 145 fly problem...
[Later] I got the herd pretty well under control with a new cheap, strong, WallyWorld flyswatter in concert with some good old-fashioned fly paper.

The Speed of Darkness
Many scientists revere and study the speed of light, but what is the speed of darkness? What is the speed of the unseen? Darkness is already everywhere at once, and light is but a momentary interruption.
