kick it to the curb.

i am writing this post on monday night...that makes it trash night.  as usual i rounded up all the trash and recycling to take outside and to the curb.  i turned the lights on for the porch and of course on a warm summer night when you do that you get one wild party of bugs celebrating like its the new year.  well normally i hate that except tonight i was happy to see them enjoying themselves.  hopefully they were having a blast and not actually bothered by the light...otherwise...oops.  well one of these guys decided to land on my arm and i did something a little different than my normal panic, jump, and swipe.  i thought about swatting and then i felt bad; so i let him come along for the ride.  he hung around for a while and then he was off doing whatever bugs do.  living i guess.

its a funny thing because i never like to take advantage of the fact that bugs are an easy kill...so i usually wait when i see one at home.  if its something i don't want in the house i will try to kill it unless its inconvenient for me.  if i do try and miss, then i let it go.  i figure it was meant to live on for another day.  i don't enjoy determining life or death so i guess i just like to give them a chance.  maybe a kind of respect...lol.

anyway my next patient should be here soon.  back to work...
