Who knew a fly could cause so much trouble. We are used to flies. We have both lived most of our lives in Colorado and flies are just part of the landscape. We have been spending our winters in Arizona since 2009. They are not usually much of a problem there. Just to be safe, we have a fly swatter in our house in Arizona and another in our Airstream Trailer, which is also parked in Arizona.
This year, we have rented an apartment in Lone Tree on the south end of Denver. And wouldn't you know it, we somehow let a fly into the apartment. A magazine just doesn't work to swat a fly. So, we went out to buy a fly swatter. We didn't find one at Walmart. King Soopers, same story. Safeway didn't have one either. Neither did Harbor Freight. Finally, we stopped at an Ace Hardware--Big Tool Box on Holly Street.
At last, we were able to buy a fly swatter. It cost lest than $3. About the same as I found one on Amazon. But have a $3 item shipped from Amazon seemed a little bit of overkill.
Now, where is that fly?
