Why Did You Move Here?
Every place I have lived, I have had someone question why I moved to the current state. Usually the poeple are not just being polite and asking questions, but they are asking with disgust as if no one would ever want to come to the place where they live. Tonight, a woman in a store said, “I know Connecticut wasn’t a place you wanted to live, so why did you come here?” When I was in high school, every kid counted the days until they could move to another place. Usually it is the people who have lived in the same place for their whole lives who can’t imagine someone enjoying their current state. Is there any place where everyone knows why a person would want to live there?

A few days ago, Tim and I started noticing some very small flies in our kitchen. We think they may be related to fruit flies. I made it a point to clean up the kitchen and try to scrub on some of the filth still left from the previous owners. Our house was pretty gross when we moved in. Everything looked clean, but if you wiped your white glove on the counter, it would turn out a dark gray/yellow color. We both assumed there was maybe a small nest (are there nests of flies?) of flies and we would have to find it. I have gotten particularly good at killing the flies while they are flying. I can kill three to four flies each time I go through the kitchen.
The other day, I was in a coffee shop and also a cafe. Both places had the same sized little gross flies flying around their establishment. The flies are native to Connecticut, not our kitchen. So it isn’t our fault the flies have survived. Our dirty kitchen can become clean and we will still have flies.
