I want to welcome everyone back to part 31 of our reading of 200 years together by Alexander

Solzhenycin.

How are you doing today, Dr. Johnson?

I am under attack by a, I don't know what the collective name is, but a swarm of stink bugs.

I don't know what the, what the real name is, but they swarm of stink bugs. I don't know what the real name is, but I think a swarm would be somewhat dramatic, but, but there's a lot of them.

And the cats are useless.

They don't really care about them too much.

But, yeah, you never know what's going to happen around here.

Since me and you are both in the middle of nowhere this sort of thing is to be expected i haven't had a stink bug attack in a while but this year is bad

how are you doing doing good i had a couple get in um had a couple wasps in the last week get in

Oh, right, right.

The infect, yeah.

Yes.

So, yeah, had to.

My cats don't care about the stink bugs either, but the wasps, oh, they want to get stung by those really bad.

Yeah, yeah, you all have seen the pictures of the dogs who get stung by a bee and their face looks like, you know, looks like a catcher's mint.

Yeah.

All right.

Moving on.
