Keep an Eye to the Sky

Do you remember way back in 2013, when Pepper and I had first relocated to Moogie’s Manor? I reported that we had been invaded by swarms of houseflies. I mean swarms! They all seemed to find their way to the master bath, probably because there’s a skylight in there and they just followed the natural sunlight.

Well, they’re baaaaack. Only this time there are multitudes more! We’ve been swatting and cussing and sweeping up fly carcasses all over the bathroom (and some in the kitchen!).

Up until this afternoon, I believed  they’re government drones intent on discovering Pepper’s and my (alleged) scheme to take over save the world. But something new is happening today.

Instead of having to swat (or squish — ewwwww!) them, they’re just falling out of the air. Kind of like the alien machines did in War of the Worlds.

So now I think they might be from Pluto. The Plutonians are miffed at being  de-(and, potentially, re-)planetized, and don’t like that nosy New Horizons spacecraft snapping all those pictures of them before they’ve had their coffee, so they’re seeking revenge on Queen Moogie and her Consort.

Or maybe they’re just drones. Or houseflies.

Either way, I’m content as long as they keep falling from the sky.

When is housefly season over anyway?

Perhaps Moogie should have skipped that second cup of coffee today.
