[ExI] we have debugged it

[Gregory Jones]

Decades ago in this forum we discussed a laser mosquito zapper.  I am on
the road with limited bandwidth and a microscopic keyboard, which hampers
my ability to research, but I am told a company called Photon Matrix is
presenting a laser version of the iron dome, aimed at mosquitos. OK then,
Photon Matrix.

While I was laboriously thumbing out this note, it occurred to me that I
didn't experience any significant buggery.  I drive from California to
eastern Washington regularly on family business.  I need to clean the bugs
off of my windshield at every fuel stop, or rather I used to.  I realized I
drove up here this week, thru farm country, but didn't smash thousands or
even dozens of bugs.  The revolting mess on the windshield has been
declining for a long time.  Now, thousand mile trip thru farm country, no
major buggery.  I don't recall mosquito encounters last time I was in
Florida either.  I recall mosquito swarms, massive ravenous clouds of
them.  But not now.  That's a huge environmental change, in one human
lifespan.

That laser bug zapper sounds cool but I might not buy one because I haven't
even seen a mosquito recently.  We have debugged this place.  But how are
the bees doing?
