April Showers bring May….Bugs
April Showers Well, March is over and it was pretty ho hum as far as the weather went. We had our cold days and (record) warm days. The bugs woke up from their winter slumber, especially the ants, and the April showers and (hopefully) a little warmer weather are sure to bring everything else out […]
Time to Spare?
Daylight Savings How are we all feeling this Monday morning after losing an hour and having our schedules screwed up due to daylight savings time? Every year I tell myself I’m going to go to bed an hour earlier in order to stay up with this change. But does it happen? No. It just seems […]
The Snowstorm of ’19
It’s CRAZY out there!!! Round 1 of snow came and went without much hype. Small amounts of snow and ice remain, as of today, but besides a little inconvenience, there wasn’t really much effect.

The REAL Surprises for the Mariner’s this year: Edwin Diaz – Who’d a thunk this guy was going to be a consistent, lights out reliever, all year long for us? Without him, the Mariners would certainly […]
The Spider – Misconceptions and My Experiences
Bravo”!! to KCPQ 13 for their recent story regarding arachnophobia. If I had a nickel for every person that said they had black widows or brown recluse I could have retired years ago! I have been very fortunate to have personally seen Mr. Crawford speak about spiders at several seminars. I am pleased to see […]
Have You Been Stung by a Yellow Jacket This Year?
Ouch, I feel for you! We had a very early start this year with wasps and yellow jackets. Our early warm spring that continues into a sweltering, consistently hot summer, led to population EXPLOSIONS of these nasty pests. While yellow jacket stings can really pack a wallop, they can also lead to other serious problems. There can be varying […]
