   Lesson of the day   
   31 Jan 19 19:20:16   
   
   Hear ye...hear ye!   
      
   Thy lesson of the day:  Wasps will sting you and it does hurt.   
      
   I was mowing the yard today and going my usual pattern around some azaleas and   
   palms. Unbeknownst to me, there was a wasp nest under one of the palm fronds.    
   I found out rather quickly after one of them popped me over my right shoulder   
   blade.  I shut the mower off and headed for the house hoping I wasn't being   
   followed by them.   
      
   After getting that fixed up...I went back to find the nest.  I found it   
   alright and got hit AGAIN!  Dammit! This one hit me in the left side right   
   below the ribcage.  Back to the house to get fixed up again.   
      
   You know what they say...."third time's a charm."  Went back and destroyed the   
   next and the little buggers with it.  Wish I'd had a flame-thrower. I would've   
   turned those trees/bushes into a big ol' pile of ash.   
      
   I shall surely be more observant when mowing around those trees/bushes.

   Thanks!
