Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 16, 2021

I won’t.

While cycling along the shore of lake Washington I came across many clouds of gnats but was able to keep my mouth shut and pass through!

I wish she’d visit our house every evening between 6 and 7! We could work out some suitable arrangement!!

Gnats all folks!

Ewg! One gnat in my mouth gives me the willies. Barf!

Don’t worry Broomie.

If I see a cloud of gnats outside today, I AM going to try it. (Currently 36 degrees outside, but I won’t let that keep me from giving this a try.)

In my case, they just fly unbidden into my mouth. When I spit them out, I feel like Imhotep in the “Mummy”

ok broomie i wont

Gee, Broomie, that was gnatsy…

I wouldn’t be able to even think about it, whenever just one gets in my mouth I have a coughing fit.

Looks like she’s had a lot of practice.

Yeah, leave it the professionals, like Broomie.

Broomie, you want to come try that with our cicadas?

No worries.

A gnat committed suicide in my coffee this morning.

Try riding a bicycle through a cloud of them. Ewww.

Or anybody for that matter.

why would you open your mouth in the first place!

Reminds me of “The Green Mile”.

Yucky-poo! I wouldn’t try that if you paid me, Broomie! Accidental intake of one is more than bad enough!

Don’t worry, I won’t.

Many years ago the electric locomotives of the Pennsylvania RR were disabled by clouds of bugs ducked into the electric motors by the cooling fans.
