And yes, I don't mean White Angelo Saxton Protestants.
So throughout the day today, Because it is spring, I couldn't decide to keep my front door open, or let the AC/HEAT do it's thing. So several times today, I open my front door and there is a wasp who managed to creep in between my screen door and solid bolt door. I opened the screen door and it left. A few hours later, same thing. A wasp ended up between my screen door and my solid bolt door. Again, I am thinking how is it getting in here? This went on all day. But finally I looked up at the molding at the top of the frame between the two. A wasp, or wasps were looking to make a home between those two doors.
I do admit, there is somewhat of a gap at the top of the screen door. But I still don't understand why it, or a scout would chose such a spot.
Today I found the centimeter makings of the beginnings of a nest at the top of the frame between the doors. It was microscopic, but all I thought was, "Damn these bastards are determined."
But that is nothing compared to when I had the last house, that I replaced this one I am talking about in this story.
Years ago, just after I bought the new one, but before the old one was torn down, I decided to clean up the yard which had tons of branches and overgrowth before they tore it down. Anywho, after removing dead branches in the yard, I decided to mow it. But, little did I know, yellowjackets had made nests. The vibrations of my riding mower agitated a nest. Next thing I know, I am every cartoon character in every cartoon where the "SWHOOSH" is implied. I didn't even turn the key to stop my riding mower. All I heard was a sudden buzz, and felt like I was in Pearl Harbor running way from Zeros. Those fuckers chased me all the way to the back door on the other side of my house. I got stung several times.
But, just today, it wasn't anything close. I just found it funny that this wasp, or wasps wanted to make a home between my doors.
