<b>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
And the heat wave continues. Is that what's driving all these crickets
in amongst us? I can't say as I blame them, to want to get out of the
heat, but when they come in here and we have the premises sprayed
regularly, it's suicidal. They're like the lemmings that fling
themselves over a cliff or into the ocean or whatever it is that
lemmings do, but they're flinging themselves into Eastern to die in
droves all over the floors. I noticed the other day when the President
was giving his talk at the Faculty/Staff meeting, every few seconds you
could see another cricket crawling up toward the front of the room
toward him. (I thought they might have been plotting to carry him
off.) I know they're driving the custodians crazy. It's not like
sweeping up dirt that stays in one place. It's like living litter
sneaking around and crawling back into places you already cleaned.
Right after you clean, and leave the room and the coast is clear, here
they come out of the woodwork. If we could sell all of them for fish
bait or something, we might just solve our budget crunch. If not, we
may have to change our team name to the EOSC Crickets! <br>
