I was in Colorado last week and one morning I put on my shoes and padded around for a while getting ready in the morning. I felt something in one of my shoes, kind of like maybe some lint from the drier had stuck to my sock and was rolled up at my toes. It was kind of uncomfortable so finally I sat down and took off my shoe to find what had gotten stuck in it. I shook it out and this is what I saw:
The little guy thought that my shoe would be a good place to sleep. It does have a nice ambiance to it, I s'pose.
Until he got CRUSHED TO DEATH. By my FOOT.

Are you sure it wasn't the smell that caused his demise?
Holy Moly!
That happened to me when I was working at Disneyland. Except I wasn't wearing socks cause I forgot them and the bug was up by my toe, also I had it in there for hours cause I was working and could not stop to check my shoe. They really work you hard a D-land and yell really hard if you try to take a moment to check your shoes for bugs. Really they do!
Why were you in Colorado?
I assume the smell is what attracted the moth in the first place. I don't keep lights in my shoes and they aren't radioactively glowing quite yet.
Disneyland sounds like a wonderful place to be. I was in Colorado attending a conference on computational linguistics. They are doing fun things with language like teaching computers to translate and write haikus.
OK glad you said that thing was a moth cause I was thinking it looked like a big ol' bee! I was thinking how lucky you were that you didn't get stung and come to find out it is just a moth, with no stingers attached. How dare you trick me like that and play on my sympathies! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!!!
That does sound wonderful. I have often sat at my computer and thought how nice it would be if my computer would write me a nice little haiku! Might I still be alive to see my wish fulfilled? Oh happy days!!
The haikus were pretty bad. You can get meaning out of anything though if you try hard enough.
The post IS titled "Moth balls." And that looks nothing like a bee.
"i didn't read the title". she said sheepishly
and it does too look like a bee, use your imagination
I agree, it does kind of look like a bee. Anyways, you should really send an all call out when you leave your current place of residence. It's annoying to find out after the fact that your brother was ignoring you because he was in a different, different state. Goodness!
I knew you were going but when? And what occurred. Thank goodness for the killer moth or I would NEVER know how you are doing!
I just looked again and am thinking it is probably a mutant moth...hence the demise in your shoe.
I wonder if the shoe caused the mutation.
Getting a little tired of looking at your stinky shoe. It is ok to post a little more frequently!
