Olney Senior Cub Center
Where did all these flies come from? They are smaller than usual and all of them act like they are trying out for the circus. Aerial acrobatics are their specialty, swooping and diving at a Human’s nose seems to delight them the most. The “42” players keep a flyswatter handy and seem to delight in plastering a good swat on the opponent’s arm or shoulder if a fly is spotted nearby. Revenge -- perhaps!?? Actually, the smell from the grain next door to the Center may be the lure that draws those pesky little rascals to come visiting.Hopefully the little pests will tire of trapeze hoop-deloops soon and leave us alone.
Whispers of a Self-Obsessed World
When I was a little girl, I was afraid of everything. The dark. Mirrors. Bugs. Illness. Dogs. Storms. Roller coasters. Water. All dads except my own. Loud noises. Being kidnapped. Getting lost. Choking on candy. My dolls. My closet.
