The Buzz

I was driving through town yesterday, tryiing to focus on staying on the RIGHT  side of the road. It's a bit of a brain fry, trying to flip around all of the rules of the road to American-style. I was doing a decent job, when all of the sudden a giant grasshopper leapt from somewhere in the depth of the car smack into my cleavage.

It was startling, to say the least.

I was proud of myself-- I didn't freak out until after I pulled over and jumped out of the car to dislodge the creature from my shirt. Getting smacked with a grasshopper is definitely an unwelcome surprise, especially when driving.

In related insect news...

My car had been sitting in the cul-de-sac so long, that a colony of wasps decided to take up residence in one of the wheel wells. We drove the car through a high-pressure care wash and knocked the nest off, but now there are a ton of angry, confused wasps buzzing around the car 24/7 looking for their house.

I'm pretty sure they're plotting revenge. The sting-y kind.
