Oh! BTW! I met up with the Ladybug at the Coop checkout. About a week prior, the apartment complex employees whipper-snipped the works between their property and all the properties on my street. Twas my next door neighbour that got his neighbours to the south to agree that he should get the complex to destroy Ladybug's (all our) micro-ecosystem.

He told her he was gonna do it. She asked why. He said it was to keep the skeeters down. She said that it was full of dragonflies and that cutting it would increase the skeeter population. Then he didn't like the look of it. ??? He can't even see it if he stays within his fenced in yard. She said... amateur entomologist... riddled with arthritis... can't stand without a cane... this is the only joy I get outside of the apartment... He said, I and my neighbours don't like it and walked away. What a fuckin prick!!! (Tho it's par for the course.)
