I woke up queasy again today. It’s weird I tell you. But anyhoo, a couple of weeks ago we went on a tour of mosquito and vector control with our homeschool group. One of the kids asked what vector meant. And the answer? I have no idea at all because Alan joked around later about vector.

Vector, committing crime with both direction and magnitude. OH YEAH!!! That’s a line from Megamind. So, whenever I think of vector now, that’s what pops into my head. Yep. Thanks honey.

So, the tour. It was pretty interesting.

Who knew mosquito and vector control could be a good tour. Not me.

But it was a really good tour. We learned about how mosquitos grow.

We learned about how they are caught and studied. We learned a bunch of stuff in a greenhouse with fish tanks. Don’t ask me what. Nathan was fussing. I think he was hungry.

I think the most fascinating fact was about 100 years ago mosquitos were so bad that schools were closed down occasionally. Is that crazy? Not a snow day, a mosquito day! Can you imagine what a swarm of mosquitos that must have been, to close down schools?

Ok enough talk about bugs. It’s bugging me out. I’m all scratchy now.
