I’d probably Icarus. Blu refuses to entertain any ideas of me parachuting, probably because of my aloofness. I’d pack the chute wrong, and I don’t trust anybody else to do it…so parachuting is out for me.
Ah, Icarus had a good idea, though.

Wasn’t it his daddy that had the great idea? I haven’t read the myth in ever so long.

Daedalus was the inventor and Icarus was his son. They were escaping the minotaur’s maze and Icarus ignored daddy. One of my favorite myths.

Amen…they do keep the mosquito population well in check, and now that we’ve got the nasty “tigers” very happy to see them flitting about…and i don’t really like spiders, though I know they’re just as useful.

We don’t have bats around here, so I think we have to rely on spiders and birds to eat the mosquitoes. The tiger variety just showed up this year.

Just as lon as someone eats them…we’ve had them for the last three or four. The population was way down this year, thank heavens.
