VILLE PLATTE, LA. (AP) — Clouds of mosquitoes have been so thick in southwest Louisiana since Hurricane Laura that they’re killing cattle and horses.
Farmers in a five-parish area east and northeast of the parishes where the storm made its landfall Aug. 27 have probably lost 300 to 400 cattle, said Dr. Craig Fontenot, a large-animal veterinarian based in Ville Platte.

I blame Rachel Carson and her stupid book, Silent Spring.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding Carson is the reason DDT was taken away. Hey! If you like the Covid-1984 you are going to love the mosquitoes the globalist cabal are releasing in Louisiana. They all carry Malaria.
DeleteLouisiana mosquitoes are almost as large as small birds and can live in just above freezing temperatures.
The reason I know is one early morning I got to the heliport to fly offshore to my platform. I got out of my truck and had to take a piss. The north wind was whipping in a Norther and temps were just above 30. I got my dick hanging out to piss and this big bold tiger striped Skeeder comes flying it to suck some breakfast. About the time she landed on my dick I swatted and hit. The whole palm of my swattin' hand was smattered with blood and skeeder.
Even wonder why it is it is always the commies who force their ways on everyone else. Just like that dead bitch Carson. She had no right to force the entire world to her commie ways. The negroes are trying to do that now. They didn't get enough freebees since 1965 and going double dippin' now.
And of course the regular commies want your souls.
I still remember us kids following the DDT sprayer trucks down the street. No aftherrvekts, as yet.
ReplyDeleteI know! Didn't affect me, fect me, fectme...
DeleteI remember working in Key Largo in the early 70's 4 laning US 1.....we used to go to a club called the Caribbean....seems they didn't have a door or screens on the windows in those days, so when you ordered a beer, they'd also hand you a can of 6-12 mosquito spray....the saying was that the mosquitoes were so big they worked as bouncers part time....
ReplyDeleteIn Vietnam (and Guadalcanal, Philippines, Korea, etc.), mosquitoes were so big they dropped fireflies for target illumination.
ReplyDeleteI think I see a solution for gridlock in Washington.
