My kids are doing "mommy mommy may we go out and play?" pleadings, now that we're in a cat-friendly neighborhood. I think probably not, as Boomer is just the sort to bring home the little bloodsuckers.

Me, I already have my damned DEET, much as I hate it. WHy can't they make a bug repellent product whose smell doesn't make me violently ill? Is that too mcuh to ask?
