It's big, it's black, and it's a wasp. In fact, I think that it's a: Great Black Wasp I absolutely hate wasps, ever since a kid next to me stood in a nest during scout camp. They swarmed and I got stung about 30 times. Disgusting creatures.

Around here, we call them "mud daubers". Seen any mud tubes under a deck or dark places around your foundation? Their nest looks like this: ![]() |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Improv is right. As far as wasps go, they're pretty non-aggressive and harmless. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |
