I lived in St. Louis for three years, Florida for three years, California for six months and then eventually Montana. I was never homesick, at least not until a few years ago. My first couple of years here, w...

Though I have a lot of respect for the honeybee, I loathe a yellowjacket, hornet, or whatever they are. As you all know, this summer has been crazy for the yellowjacket.

This trap can be quite dangerous if used the wrong way. For example, do not put it in an area where your children play, do not remove it until it is dark and cold outside,...
