Default old days

This is not intended to be a dig, just a memory.

I was thinking of the night the mosquitoes and probably a few other things really got to me. Sort of went over the edge a little. I closed and locked up an APC then sprayed an entire can of DDT, killing most of those little buggers. DDT, for those who forgot, tastes lousy. So I put a gas mask on. After a few minutes I lift the mask, light a cigarette and started smoking with the mask back on (which is a very difficult thing to do). 10 minutes later took off the mask and finished the beer I had been drinking. Just as I finished the beer a mosquito flew into my eye. Did I mention we were set up in an area were all the green life was dead. We?d been there for a few days. Day before we arrived the area was sprayed with agent orange.

I?ll tell my kids about Pam having a possibility of being dangerous (really) but right now, I need a Marlboro.

You folks stay healthy,
Andy
