    I spent all day in Bandon. It was perfect. I ate ice cream on the beach in 78 degree sun.

    I just drove west home from Eugene and I've never seen that much bumper to bumper traffic coming back to Eugene from the coast.....endless stream of headlights....seems a lot of folks tried to beat the heat today....I was dumb enough to volunteer to help my son do some work on his metal shed in his backyard...not the best move I'll admit

    Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm sort of at the end of my rope with it, and I'm seriously considering contacting management about it. Although, knowing them, I may have to hire my own exterminator and go it alone.

    And by the way....from that article, a fact which I've known about for some time:

    That was probably not the best idea.
    I went to Bandon with about 14 people that comprised of 4 generations of Pruners including my 94 year old grandpa and his 96 year old sister. It was great.

    First, I got one of these:


    And then I went here:

    Should have gone by the harbor and spraypainted "theprunetang was here" on the MarAzul.

    Having two scars (one over 1" in diameter) from spiders you can trust me on this.... Get some Bayer Advanced Home Pest Control in the blue one gallon container at Lowe's or Home Depot. This shit is NASTY. Spray all around your doors, windows, light fixtures, corners of the floors, and RUN FOR IT! (don't forget kitty). I've tried Ortho, and all those other ones. This stuff does the job for spiders around here. It'll do a number on you too, so make sure it's all aired out before you go back in....

    Thanks, I'm gonna check this out. They might have some at Fred Meyer.

    Right now, I'm using Black Flag Ant and Roach Killer. It says that it is "Unscented", which is the reason why I bought it over the available cans of Raid (which all seems to have gone to some floral-smelly bullshit). However, it is anything but unscented. That Black Flag shit is downright toxic, and I've unwillingly breathed in my fair share of it.

    I have a can of Raid as well, but it's "Country Fresh Scent". I absolutely hate air-freshener aerosols, which is why I've never used them. And this shit smells just like it.

    What the fuck happened to just being "Unscented"? I had an unscented can of Raid that I loved, and it worked beautifully, without any chemical odors or scents. Now it's all of this scented bullshit. Home Depot doesn't sell unscented bug killers, and neither does Fred Meyer.

    What the fuck? It must be some new annoying marketing fad.

    Now I want sushi.... I did bring back some local oysters, shrimp, and Black Rockfish though! Dinner tomorrow.

    Not to be that guy, because I like you, but they are Sea Anemones and not Sea Urchins. Now when I was living in Florida, I could harvest Urchins from the bay behind my house. I ate a lot of that sweet sweet Sea Urchin roe.

    Bad habit. I haven't clipped my nails in 20 years.

    I have an indoor sauna that I use regularly, so it gives me heat tolerance and I don't really mind this weather. I also take cold showers, so I can withstand the winter as well!

    Haha.

    It's routinely hot here, too. It's been over 110 most days since May. I keep the A/C at 81 and it's fine.

    At some point, higher temps inside will ruin your furniture and stuff. The 87 seems like it might be too high.
