Wildlife is both very large and very small in Alaska.
As I browsed Facebook this morning a hornet buzzed into my room. He wasn't angry or upset, just curious. We had a conversation.
Me: Oh honey, no. No. You don't belong in here.
Hornet: Bzz bzzzz flying around my desk.
Me: (turning off my computer monitor so it won't be the bright light of a fake window, ie: fake way out of the room) There, see? No place for you here.
Hornet: Zzzt zttt?
Me: Here, I'm turning off the light, too, so you can see the lighter part of the house. (Walking to the door way and gesturing) Come here, follow me...
Hornet: ...(total silence)
Me: Hornet? Look, you can come out here, I'll open the door!
Hornet: (totally disappears)
Me: Great. So now I have Schroedinger's Hornet.
I hope i don't find him again just when I'm stepping in the shower.
