I just had my own Ladder’s & Shoots episode.

Kids watching me

12’ ladder

Paper wasp nest (hive) (lair) ?

Thought the spray killed em
It didn’t

“Gitindahouse! GITINDAHOUSE!!”

Pole pruner to the right

ladder left

I rode 17 hornets on a downward spiral to just left of center tailbone to dogwood root

Kids locked the door behind them

“First of all I’m okay” is the 4th best opening line of a story…
