   1. I hate bugs, too! In ’74, I slipped on my slippers in the hallway at my Japanese boys only dorm and squished a 30 foot cockroach with my bare toes! Yuk!

      1. 30 foot cockroach?

         A 3 cm cockroach would have been enough to gross me out!!! BLECH!!!

      2. Well, OK. So I exaggerated. 29 feet long.

      3. Still, ultra blech!!!

2. Wonderful capture!

   1. Well, sir, anybody reading your blog about your experiences in Liberia will see for themselves you are nuts! LOL But really, you were quite the humanitarian to have done what you did.
