  okay. since i didn't mention anything about earwigs in "is this the year for earwigs? part 1" i suppose i should somehow attempt to weave them into the narrative at some point soon. right about now perhaps. this may be an entirely local phenomenon, but i have noticed that around my new east-side digs there seems to be an embarassment of riches in the earwig department this year. the little buggers are everywhere. banner year for the little fucks. i lifted a barrel up from the back lawn, and i was interupting an earwig camp meeting.
but, they hadn't started yet. just finishing their sound check. several days ago, i found a few inside my apartment. they asked for sanctuary i promptly squashed them. no questions asked. can't give the bastards sanctuary. next thing they'll be organizing, and making demands. the petitions start, then the ultimatums. the governing bodies, and all those goddamn arbitration meetings. nope. best to sqaush 'em from the get-go. i much prefer the crickets. they're a value-added experience.
