deer and disgust in southwest texas

deer look weird in one's backyard. weirder say than in a park or on the side of a highway. i like em here, coolin out and somehow unaffected by the mutha-effin heat that is aaaaaaaaaaaall texan. it's almost disgusting the heat. but it don't stop the critters from doing their thang. i got a virtual menagerie here. fox, hummingbird, butterfly. sheeit, in detroit it was all squirrel, squirrel, rabbit and spider.

oh. i have witnessed belly up cockroaches in the new kitchen. on the floor. right there. just layin there. feet up, takin a dead nap. like i asked em in. like i invited em to tea.

they're really absurd. and shocking. actually, seeing a belly up dead-or-not cockroach on our kitchen floor is almost as shocking as seeing a limb separated from its human being. very disconcerting this. and dirty looking. i don't see dirt. i mean, it's not like pigpen came walkin in all visible fume and whatnot. it's just ... ew, i know about you kinda dirty. i have to work the kinks outta my face after i toss them out of the house. smooth the crease in the brow, work the snear outta the nose/mouth region.

disgust is such a strange immediate thing, ain't it.

and today, so far, only 2 cockroaches. here's to a semi-disgusting day in southwest texas. y'all.

hey, the only good cockroach is a dead one. especially down there. the mammals get smaller but the bugs get BIGGER. that's why the deer are so cute there. guess who? I miss you.

The cockroaches are inside looking for water. They don't like this heatwave, either. Doesn't mean your house is dirty.
