Bugs

Mr. Wilson (our neighbor and my best friend John’s father) had a riding lawn mower which we thought was pretty cool. It had a very special feature which was the release of large clouds of bug spray upon demand of the operator of the mower, for the purpose of killing all the insects around the yard. Mr. Wilson would do just that when he was done mowing, which we (John, Dennis, and I) really liked because we would run through the big clouds. And being the late 60’s I’m sure whatever it was has been banned and taken off the market. Golly, I wonder what lasting effect that had on us.
