Those are the squash vine borers that I told you about in your previous
thread about the wilted squash. But, alas, you no doubt have me twitted and
won't read this one too. Your loss because now you won't know to remove and
destroy the infested plants before the beetles find your cantaloupe.


I posted this already.

Good luck.

And just ignore the smell of burning martyr.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
