*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Palmetto Bugs are the Humvee-Half-Track vehicles of the bug world….. You can easily hear them clattering down a tile hallway….. Armadillos…alligators…and palmetto bugs have successfully reached their peak on the evolutionary scale…they have evolved into perfect self-sustaining creatures….. …..well…armadillos haven’t learned how to survive crossing a road yet….. …..and palmetto bugs can’t out run a chicken either….. But…alligators….. …..yep…they’re at the perfected-top of their evolutionary ladder…and I will leave them well enough alone…right…

My older daughter has taken on a solitary/stoic task of correcting and finishing an important fence-line….. …..the goat fencing….. …..it was started months ago….. …..but so many things got in…
