I know some of you will get this twice but you may actually be happy to have more than one copy of something so valuable. Lynn continues to find great stuff in our archives and her head. She is in a class on writing one's life story and she is developing her blog, Pix and memories. So this scary picture will appear in multiple places. As she says below, we learned from a real yellowjacket/wasp/etc warrior, a professional, that sometimes armor isn't needed. We are aware of the place of all living things in nature's interactions. We draw the line when they are too close or too likely to settle on little kids.

One hot July, Bill donned his armor to avoid being stung while spraying the yellowjacket nest under the deck—parka, gloves, nylon net over his head and under his hat. But instead we called an exterminator.
That man sprayed the nest wearing short sleeves and shorts. These wasps only sting moving creatures. We stood still as statues with no armor and no stings.
