Oh! Oh! Oh! I think I know what's up with the inflatable mosquito lab. Next door, there is a little house that was converted into a low-rent triplex. One of the tenants bought the identical pool last summer and set it up on their front lawn, a few feet from the road (which is technically a minor highway and quite busy). At the height of last year's pandemic fatalities in Ontario, they had an outdoor baby shower (right beside the street) with ~20 unmasked guests and unattended children. The pool sat out there (unused) until November, at which time it was pushed to the side of their front steps, where it lay all winter in a deflated blue heap, occasionally covered in snow. It's still there - daughter said she saw someone attempting to inflate it - by mouth - last month.
I almost took a video because I was in awe, but I witnessed a FedEx trick pull into a USPS here and drop -off-packages. What? And I ordered something two months ago that was supposed to be “overnight”, DedEx is holding it.
Anyways. I’ve noticed the mosquito here is pretty active but the bites are a less effective as the Florida variety I’m used to. But still no fun, here’s to bats and sparrows! Also the black biting flies are vicious and seem to have a very negative attitude.
There’s a biting fly FedEx joke somewhere in here…
We had one of those when our kids were very small, and the second we filled it for the first time one of our cats jumped on the side and promptly clawed it full of holes. Can you surreptitiously sic a cat on it?

So, my guess? There's gonna be a PARDEE soon.
