Butrfly's Wonderings

In Sac Valley, the number of cases of West Nile virus in humans is growing exponentially and percentages of trapped, infected mosquitoes have grown beyond epidemic proportions. The county is starting aerial spraying tonight and for the next three nights to try and kill off a generation of adult skeeters. So, for the next three nights when we've had 100+ degree days, we get to choose between keeping windows closed and air conditioning off or insecticide poisoning and breathing problems. I'm doing a little of both by keeping window shut but also keeping the air conditioning on. If I feel like I'm getting gassed by aerial spraying, I'll turn it off.
