Big Problem

I'm having a big problem everytime I ride. I can't seem to stop grinning from ear to ear while I'm on my bike, and down here in Florida during the summer it is a BIG problem because of all the !@#$ bugs!

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

A fly? Ha!
Try swallowing a Florida Palmetto Bug! Palmetto Bugs are these huge flying roaches about the size of a large water bug, or about 5-10 times the size of German cockroaches.

However, looking on the bright side, I guess we save money on protein bars down here. lol

OK maybe this is kindof girly... but the other day a bug flew into my ear... I could feel it walking around an then heard it start "chirping". Chirp...chirp...chirp... that's it! Got the water bottle out and hopefully drown that little sucker out! At least I can't still heard him chirping!
