Update: it was yellow jackets behind a light fixture. I shared the gospel again. After I’m sure they’ve been converted I’ll pull the fixture off this weekend. 14 hours later and my ear still hurts. Down into my neck.

While outside on the deck this morning a little demon from the pit of hell stung me on my earlobe. I proceeded to drown him and his brethren with the gospel of Raid. Three hours later and I still feel the memory of the unprovoked assault.
