"Home alone"- band rehearsal earlier, landlords are away, partner is in Marin for a food-biz event - I can turn up the volume on my "home entertainment" system listening to Scott Walker and playing the cool baselines of any and all of his songs through my JBL'd Ampeg B-15N. (holiday) nirvana -
 
I'm like you about not going out of my way to eliminate any living thing, which usually comes down to adverse contact with bugs of one sort or another. Sometimes our interface is unavoidable. As a cyclist I occasionally run-into/have mid-air collision with bees and wasps. Two living things impacting each other in the same place at the same time with no intent. With bees it's "ouch!", a bit of swelling/redness and that's the extent of it - been stung many times with no real issues. Once one flew in my mouth, I spit it out and it stung my arm like a dart! But twice it was some sort of wasp - felt like a hot icepick and led to major swelling on my face to the point of looking like a cabbage-patch doll. It required a trip to the emergency room and steroid shots. Living in the Bay Area close to the ocean, there isn't a lot of bugs really. Ants, flies and bees mostly and mosquito's are nearly non-existent here. Not like the mid-west, but I do miss fire-flies and cicada's.
Midwest you say? What part? I’m Minnesota now via Santa Cruz, Ca.
