Walks
Day by Day September 20th, 2007Autumn is my favourite season.
There’s a pleasant temperature during the day, and I enjoy the “Crisp” feeling in the mornings and evenings – just put on a light jacket and all is good.
Autumn does bring on the most dreaded of insects though.
Walks.
Most people call them flies. They are flies in the summer time.
In the fall, flies transform into walks.
Walks are slow, short flight insects (I assume because of the cooler temperature) and become very annoying. Even more so than their summertime cousins (the flies – try to keep up) They will land on you (because they tire quickly) crawl a short distance, and move on. Most likely, to land on you again, and take another short walk across you face.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature has given walks the uncanny ability to avoid fly swatters. While they appear slow and easy targets, at the mere thought of swatting one, some sort of telepathic signal is received by the walk, and it takes another one of its ridiculously quick flights.
And again, it will land on you, or close to you, and take another stroll.
I have several walks in my house. I had the windows and doors open to clear out the dust from yesterday’s wall removal.
I hate walks.

Walks,(as you so call them now) are most definatly psychic.I had the same trouble the other day while trying to cook supper.There they were..those stupid”walks”all over the stove.
Well go find the fly swatter….Hmmmm…Where did I see that last…Oh yeah by the coach,where I last saw a walk.
Go back to the kitchen…Now where the hell did he go…He’s been bugging me for the last 15 minutes or so…I knewthis would happen,find the fly(walk)swatter,and of coarse now can’t find the intended victom that I planned to use it on.

A walk swatter.
Ya know, I think that is a marketable item. All we need is an advertising campaign and we can be rich.

Can I get in on the patent for this “walk” swatter???!!! (Even tho I think you’re both “nuts”??!!!! Really, I’m not having trouble with “walks”, just with the tiny little black flying bugs that kinda look like the floater in my left eye (which makes everyone think I’M nuts because I’m always swatting near my face and there’s actually nothing there – it’s just the floater in my eye). But really, we do have a LOT of these tiny black flying bugs that are like fruit flies – I’m not just imagining it because Chelsea has seen them too!! They, however, have no psychic power whatsoever, because they can dart here and there so fast that I can’t get them no matter what!! But back to the “walks” – can I please help you patent the “walk” swatter??!!!!
G’night,
