TedBook: “WHAT THE HELL…???”

You know how sometimes you see something so unusual you just don’t know what to say?

Yesterday, I stopped by my granddaughter’s to meet her new puppy Yoshi. She had just arrived from Oregon, and is the cutest little white ball of wooly fur… she should be following Mary to school. I thought she might have some Panda in her too, but Isabel assured me she was a dog of the Akita/Huskie variety.

While I was getting to know Yoshi I noticed a bag of water hanging over the doorway into the house… “What the Hell is that!” Ashley was quick to explain that it was a Fly Chaser… the latest scientific innovation to a fly less house. (A side note here: Ashley hates flies more than most… especially the ones that keep circling around and are impossible to kill. I can remember replacing a few window panes due to over-zealous fly killing) It seems she had seen this technique employed with much success in a dive bar in Snohomish. You know, the kind that always has flies circling around inside, but had forgotten about it… until the trip to retrieve Isabel’s new BFF. Laurie, her best friend in Portland, had a Fly Chaser over her front door, with no flies inside.

Here’s how it works:

1 ~ Zip Loc Baggie

2 ~ Some Water

3 ~ One Penny

4 ~ Some Push Pins

Instructions: Partially fill baggie with water… insert penny… tack over outside doorway

So, I would say, a very successful road trip to The Beaver State for all… Isabel gets her puppy, and Ashley’s nemesis may have met it’s match. But sometimes you just have to shake your head and say, “What the Hell…???”

“WHAT THE HELL…???” CONT.
