Tammi's World

Mortal Struggle

A lot of driving yesterday. My territory is soooo spread out that I'm rather used to it. But yesterday? Just a mess. Yuck.

But I did have about 3 minutes of genuine entertainment. I was sitting at a stop light and this big ole wasp landed on my driver side mirror. Now, I'm deathly allergic so I rolled the window up quick and just hoped he'd go away.

The light turns green and I get started. 30mph, 40mph....the wasp is positioning himself to go along for the ride. He spread his little legs out and stuck his tail in the air.

Actually reminded me of this one time.....at band camp.....when were were mocking exotic dancers.....but that's a story for another time.

50mph....that little bastard is still hangin' on. 60mph, now he's hooked his back legs down in the crack between the "case" and the mirror. Still face in the wind, holdin' on for all he's worth.

It has now become a contest of wills. He was NOT letting go. I was NOT givin' any free rides. Plus, like I said....it was actually rather entertaining. Well, to me anyway, and we all know it don't take much to entertain ME.

70mph. Finally, I see his entire body start to tremble, seriously. I laughed out loud. Then, his front legs slip, he's actually standing up right. I swear he looked over at me, shaking his front leg at me, cursing. As I'm laughing in evil triumph it happens.

He flies off the case at a bit of an angle and smashes against my window.

Dead. Just dead.

The sense of victory was over whelming.

I really need to get a life..........
