    Well then, I'm off to the frozen-foods section.

    Bad hair days make bad days.

    As critters go, Yellow Jackets suck.

    Yesterday I found a colony of them, unintentionally, with my shovel. I bisected their nest. The neighbors enjoyed watching them chase me across the pasture.

    Today I have one regular-sized hand and one catcher’s mitt-sized hand. So I’m off to the pasture with a can of gasoline, a box of matches, hate in my eye, and evil in my heart.
    Uhhhh...

    Wow. You're lucky--some people don't survive that. A few years back a suburban man was mowing his lawn and didn't know about an underground nest; he was stung to death.

    Best time to go after that nest is very early morning when they're still sluggish. Also, I can personally recommend Raid Wasp & Hornet spray. It's pretty much insta-kill. Just wear long sleeves and gloves and stand upwind.

    My dad uses a spray can of WD-40 and a lighter to make his own hornet-killing blow torch.

    Yikes. Too short-range, and also amounts to holding a napalm grenade if the flame travels back into the can. The Raid has a good long range (the can claims about 20 feet; I haven't measured, but I'd believe it), and every foot of head-start is valuable.

    Mission accomplished.

    Thanks for the hornet-slaying tips everybody. Calidore, yours seems well thought-out and totally sane and responsible. I actually had a half can of that stuff in the barn and I used it before I torched them. Juniper, as usual, yours has style and flare. Where is that can of WD-40 I own?

    No worries about El Sancho and the Jackets - I get swarmed once or twice a year. I think they like me and I am a clumsy man. My Pop had a weird reaction once. He got stung on the neck, and boom, a big ole goiter popped out. He didnt get stung again for a few years, and then one of the little bastards got him on the hand, and boom, a big ole goiter popped out on his neck.
    Uhhhh...

    I love science psychology more than almost any other field of study, but I would be the worst clinical psychologist in the world. "Buck up, you're fine. Put a bandaid on it."
