We hear them and see them, buzzing overhead, and wonder where they’re coming from and where they’re going. (No, not mosquitoes… airplanes, although the skeeters have made their appearance, too.) This week’s feature story about operations at the Meeker airport is pretty interesting!
Meanwhile, about those mosquitoes… There’s no more aerial spraying over town, for a plethora of reasons, so don’t forget to use your favorite bug repellent when you head outside. It requires a little extra personal responsibility, but it’s better for the good bugs we want to keep around, like bees, and better for the river and streams, too!

“Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? ‘I’ll take care of it in a moment.’ Of course you don’t! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.”
