Pulling weeds around the bird feeder garden this evening - unfortunately pulled up a nest of yellow jackets. One got me in the arm, another got up my pant leg. Two more chased me into the house, but fortunately decided to attack the kitchen ceiling lights instead of me.

After dosing with benadryl, I began to try to figure out how to get two angry yellow jackets out of the house. Opened the window blinds all the way, opened the window but not the screen. Turned off the lights. Presto - within a minute or two, both were buzzing against the screen. Shut the window, then went outside and gave 'em a good shot of Raid thru the screen.

So far, an hour or so later, I don't seem to be having any serious reaction. Hopefully that continues.

Event: OCIN QCARS 6 - Tower Park
 

Long Course at Tower Park. Big error (1-2 minutes) inside control circle at 11. Came down the trail on the n side of the creek, thought I crossed at the opening in the vegetation, but I had gone a little too far and hit the path to the NE of the control instead of to the NW. Classic parallel error from there, spent a minute or so looking to the east of the wrong trail before figuring it out.

Miami Natural Areas, cinder trail portion of Oxford Perimeter Trail, crossed the new ped/bike bridge over Four Mile parallel to Rt 73. Not sure it was supposed to be crossed yet; there were cones partway across one end, and broken caution tape hanging to the sides at each end. That will give a nice connection between the Western Campus map and Miami Natural Areas map without having to cross 73 at grade; also an all-weather crossing to get across Four Mile Creek without going on the road bridge.

I counted this one as trail running, but the cinder roads are flat and mostly pretty smooth, so a toss-up whether to call it road or trail.

Miles: 10:21, 10:06.
