One of my dogs likes to sleep under the covers

So does my cat. She plows under the covers all the way down to my knees, at least, turns around, comes back up to my chin and snuggles up close with only her nose sticking out.

She's full grown now - last winter she was still "like a teen age cat" and I thought all that was just cute kitten-like behavior, but now that the weather has turned cold, she is doing it all again.

Some asswipe sprayed my car (it was parked on the street) with Sprite or some kind of heavily sugared drink during the night. It froze and when I hit it with my wipers (not yet knowing what it was), it was crystallised into an almost-impossible-to-see-through mess that refused to wipe off until I had mostly emptied my washer fluid reservoir.

 


I'll be so glad when Halloween pranking season is done.

^^^^^
I was wrong!

I must correct this false accusation, with apologies included to all known and closet asswipes within earshot.

My car was not sprayed with pop, although it was dried sugary crap (literally) I was having trouble getting off the windshield. I have discovered that my car, due to where I park, I suppose, has been used as a mating place for a huge swarm of nectar-eating, ground-nesting wasps. I went out this morning and found the entire front fender and half of the hood covered in wasps. (all smoking little cigarettes, I might have seen, had I looked more closely)

I don't mean just a few!

It was still before daybreak and I could only see by the city lights. I was stunned, because at first I thought "some asswipe" had come back and tried to burn my car. I thought it looked like the paint was curling after being blasted with a torch. As I stepped close enough to have a better look, I heard them. My car is white, but the front quarter was so thickly covered in wasps, it looked black.

What I had interpreted as a "spray pattern"  must have been caused by the swarm beginning on the shaded area of the car and moving on to the hood and windshield after sundown, dragging some of their sugar-rich urine with them as they tried to keep up with the new arrivals to the swarm. I also had the thought that it was some waspy version of honey, but upon beginning the effort to clean it again, I recognized the smell of urine.

I've seen a swarm like this twice before in the woods, but never in the city center and never before on a car.

I did not park my car there, today.

damn...

Wow.

I wonder if they will find your car again, because their pheromones must be all over it.

Wow.

I am sure they will have no problem finding my car on the other side of the house, but the orgy apparently starts in the shade near sundown and my car was parked in the sun, yesterday.

What I wonder is how many of these mass orgies does it take to fertilize all the females (these wasps lay fertilized eggs), wind up the season and dig in for the winter. It was very close to freezing yesterday and they were still active. I swept them off enough to get in the car and very few even tried to fly.
 
Not very many days left before all the nights turn to hard freeze. It has been at least three days of this mating fest, I am positive.

It was well below freezing overnight, with heavy due fall. There was no orgy last night.

Funny you mention candy. I had a bite today of modern candycrap - first time in many years I have tried candy, other than chocolate or something I made, myself.

I was going to post in the bitch thread about trying a "Laffy Taffy."   It was banana flavored, supposedly.  I can remember having "Kits" when I was a kid and they were taffy-like, artificially flavored, sugar-rich, bullshit candy. I was expecting to be over wrought with flavors which I could smell, but hardly taste.

I had one in my mouth for about thirty seconds. It flipped me, the FUCK, out!! I immediately began to hiccup. I spat it out on the third hiccup. About one minute later, I began to sweat profusely, managed to control the hiccups, but my nose also began to run like I had a cold or like something was attacking an allergy.
I actually spat it about forty feet and was within a couple of inches of the trash compactor door.

Now, my mouth, three hours later mind you, is still numb. I can only feel my tongue if I bite down into it. my palate has no tactile sensation at all. I even drug my fingernail across my palate a few times to make sure of this. My mouth is completely numb from a Laffy Taffy, banana flavored candy.

It was entirely too strong for me.
