Just for fun

Last night I walked outside to throw my trash in the dumpster. While I was out there, this pickup truck started driving toward me with flashing lights. Curious, I leaned in closer to read its side. "Mosquito Control," it said. I only had a moment to wonder what that meant as it rounded the bend and started spewing chemicals out into the air as it drove. A thick, visible mist poured out of this spout that looked like a tornado siren. I feel like that must have been unhealthy for the boy following behind on his bicycle.

Also, I finally convinced myself to check out the apartment complex's pool yesterday. It was lovely, but I apparently did not take off my shorts in time. I have a RIDICULOUS tan line now that may prohibit me from enjoying the pool again for awhile.

There's more to say, on a more serious note, but I'm still searching for words.

Leaning into the spray of pesticides. I'd make fun of you but I'm pretty sure that I've inhaled worse things in my current job. Very ominous ending though....
