The one was always bigger than the other but the difference is greater now.

Got home about 11:30 last night. Had to get up at 6:30 to put the trash and recycles out. Never have any idea when they will collect :he Had to pick the recycle one up 3 times before I went shopping at 10 AM, got back at 1:30 and picked it up again. At least nothing had dumped out. Fortunately they came by and collected it while I was unloading the car. Trash barrel hasn't been blown over yet. I guess I need to add "build a dual can 'corral' out at the road" to my list of tasks.

Off to physical therapy for my neck soon.

Cold up there, but I put the diesel porch heater away today, and plugged the bug zappers in tonight. They're working non-stop on mosquitoes and small black bugs I don't know what are. I would open up the mesh grid guard some, to kill all the dang June bugs, but scared it would start a fire...bug zappers fire off as long as the insect has any electrically conductive liquid in their body and June bugs have a lot.
Silly things seem to have no plan at all...they fly well enough, but their navigation and landing skills are questionable...just fly around blindly till they crash into something, fall to the deck and just crawl about and die. In all these years, I've never seen a single one ever take off again once they land. (Obviously can't read a calendar either)
