The terror (purple hued) of Lexington has returned to this side of the pond with booze and chocolate. He is a happier boy now that he's in the land of gallong jugs of cold milk and air conditioning.

The kiddie pool became a mosquito love shack and had to be drained. (gack and gross, I must say)- we'll reconvene with a few chemicals involved next time. Next time may be this week if it really will be up near 90. I hope I don't dream of proto bugs tonight. More likely, of Harry Potter. I'm trying not to read it all at once as I've not picked out the next read yet.

If you keep goldfish, and you end up with mosquito larvae in the pool again, catch a bunch and feed them to the fish. Goldfish seem to regard them as yummy treats -- once they figure out what they're looking at.

Does that mean you can keep goldfish in your swimming pool to keep it free of mosquitos? ;)

I doubt they'd survive the chlorine. :) However, I've heard of people keeping goldfish, year-round, in garden ponds precisely to keep the mosquitos down. That, or buy a bat house and try to recruit bats.

Well, that sounds fun... bugs and all.
