    He has hung around now for two days. I have sprayed and swatted and can't get rid of him. How can my apartment just have ONE FLY? It's the only fly I have ever seen in my apartment in three years.

    Well now, you have successfully domesticated a fly which lengthens it’s lifespan to about 30 days.

    Figuring that it’s probably been around for about a week or so in the wild and then moved in and befriended you, I think you can probably name it and will not have to give it a burial for another 2 weeks or so.

    Ugh, how I despise flies. Same for those freakin' mosquitoes that buzz around with that annoying whine and keep a person up half the night.

    If you place a small block of cheese a few feet from you during the night, the mosquitoes will not both you. We all know that cheese goes well with whine.

    You're in Florida, Lon. Go outside and get yourself a lizard or a chameleon to take care of it.

    I don't mind flies as much as I hate that lone cricket in the room at 3AM.

    Lon's in California, home of Nancy Pelosi. That should be enough aggravation for anyone. :D

    Why did I think he was in Florida?

    Well...that's different.

    As I used to tell people who worked for me, when you bring me a problem, try to have at least 3 solutions.

    Funniest thing I've heard this week. Any suggestions for the critter's name? Mine would be Buzz.

    Fly That Landed On Mike Pence During Debate Revealed To Be Member Of Antifa

    SALT LAKE CITY, UT—Antifa communists are celebrating a major win after one of their distinguished members, Buzzy the Fly, landed on Mike Pence's head and distracted debate viewers for a few minutes. Investigators determined that Buzzy is the latest member of Salt Lake City Antifa.

    "Buzzy is one of our most dedicated anti-fascist resistance fighters," said Vandex Craxavague, chairperson of the local Antifa chapter. "Not only is ze our smartest and best-looking member, but ze dedicated the majority of zir 28-day lifespan to infiltrating the debate hall and planning zir attack."

    Plans were underway to have Buzzy infiltrate the virtual presidential debate and land on Trump's webcam but were unfortunately canceled after Buzzy met an untimely death. According to witnesses, he ran headlong into a flying brick that was being thrown through a glass window.

    Antifa's Twitter account later broke the news saying: "Buzzy's dead. We offer up our thoughts and prayers to nobody during this tragic time. Pour out a vegan milkshake for our beloved comrade Buzzy."
