Meanwhile, the idea of cockroaches soaring through the air has not been sitting well with some folks

I blame Al Gore and his invention of global warming.

You would think that the Democrats would just hunker down. Comey and LA Lynch have turned off the heat.

Cockroaches can be fun. I have millions, but one, Loves to crawl my kitchen pipe, Awaits perched high 'til the moments ripe, to dive! into the open Smucker's jar, sploup! Three or four laps through the syrupy soup, Then to the rim and out, three legs at a time, The little bastard, I applaud every time.

I don’t think any cockroaches in Tyler, TX will fly to Kentucky. It’s too cold for them here. Since moving to Kentucky ten years ago, the only roaches I have seen could be explained as stowaways in boxes from Florida (my previous home).

Not one of Orwell’s better books. It’s a novel about the class struggle in Britain —
Basic summary:
Is it better to reject middle class values and live in principled poverty?
or
Is it better to live a life of relative comfort even if you have to tolerate some bourgeois social standards that may seem oppressive?
In the end, the main character decides to be middle class and have a respectable family. The Aspidistra is a house plant which is considered a symbol of the middle class. As a sort of flag of respectability, the title is a slightly ironic way of seeing: “Make the middle class great again!”

These people are insane.

I have lived in Houston for 40 years, and have only seen them swarm once.
Pretty disgusting.
We also call them Palmetto Bugs, which doesn’t sound quite as bad.

I find this interesting only because I killed a cricket (in the house) that had wings.
At least it looked like a cricket.

One night I was standing inside the door of an apartment building waiting for someone. As I opened the door to look to see if they were coming, ‘something’ hit me smack in the forehead and landed there for a brief moment. With a bright light right outside the door I was sure it was a large moth. Nope. Turned out it was a huge water bug. A giant cockroach! I never even knew the SOBs could fly.
