Evidently roaches - not the tiny ones from New England and the Northern states - but the big mofos down in the Southern states.

They are called Palmetto bugs and they fly to add insult to the whole thing.

As a child they made me cry, but I moved back south as a fully grown adult and they still freak me out, especially when I open the shed door and hear them scuttling about in the walls.

I killed one recently - stomped the shit out of it and felt like I was killing a turtle - they do move like a water turtle on the ground - of course, only Gameron flies!!

Dreamed of them again last night - arrgghhh!!

The stupid chihuahua is a great bug killer - the damned cat gets on the couch and watches.
