Are you kidding me? It's 0400, 62F, not muggy.. and there are swarms of flies outside. Moths, sure.. But flies? Mildred has nocturnal flies, black flies of all sizes, shapes; and varying irritation from bites. I spent most of my week in Mildred, "by choice", only b/c I'd feel guilty otherwise. I'm here now, b/c I'm doing my "Patient Care Report". The flies are driving me nuts, last week I broke the swatter trying to kill them, and put out a screen. The bay door was open for maybe 45 seconds while we backed the meat wagon in, and that was enough to let some in. They were everywhere outside at the fireman's fest, they were everywhere at the cub scout camp.. That can't be healthy, flies are a health hazard... and if they aren't, it's at least going to raise my BP till I get my "Civic Duty" finished and go home to my own fly-free town. I've filed complaints, you know what happens? Some confrontational @$$bag calls. What are they going to do, hang giant flypapers from WWII Anti-Aircraft Balloons? Can't open the basement (office) door, flies come in.. Can't spray Raid, it makes my lips numb, because I can't open the damn door to air it out... B/c more flies come in.

I take the safety and health of those I serve very seriously. Couple that, with my experience in writing very attention-getting letters, I formulated a little sarcastic response. I replied, copied/pasted my original letter to the bottom and CC'd everyone I could think of.. The result was just dripping with blatant sarcasm. I sent a very scathing "thank you for addressing my concerns" letter, which will likely appear as a letter to the editor in several newspapers I CC'd. - Chris
