Show 894: Sundae Incident Boston October 1989 You Know Who You Are

We're fast approaching autumn.

It's the middle of September.

I would argue that autumn started officially on the 1st of August in this country.

That may be different where you are, but in this country, we start autumn on the 1st of August as enshrined in law.

But it is mid-September.

And I know most people think of autumn as starting around now.

They don't like to think the summer is over before it's even started.

So they think of autumn as starting around now.

So let's say it's autumn now.

It's the middle of September.

And I've just realized this whole summer, this whole summer past, I don't think I've had a single encounter.

I even won with a wasp.

So I think they're learning to respect me, perhaps.

Or I'm not noticing them.

I don't know.

I have spent some time in the garden this summer, mostly clearing up shit.

By shit, I mean weeds and unwanted growth that's all over the place, growing up everywhere that needs to be pulled up and dealt with.

But I haven't encountered it.

In fact, in the last few years, any encounters I've had with wasps or bees has been inside the house.

I don't seem to meet them outside a lot and I tend to avoid going out in bright sunlight.

Maybe that's why, but no, I haven't had any encounters with wasps in the house.

Usually when I encounter insects in this house, there's a cat available to deal with it.

And the cat will deal with it quite reliably by eating it.

A cat will come along and say, oh, there's a spider or a fly on the wall that's not very aware of its surroundings.

And the cat will open its mouth and go, oh, it'll go, oh.
