so i'm not sure why but; a few days ago i saw a hornet trapped between an open window glass and the screen ... all it needed to do to escape was crawl down the screen a little, but it kept going for the inescapable top portion... the next day it lay dead on the window sill ... free, having fallen to the bottom ... is it the ambiguity of both situations that makes me feel they're related ... or should i just not wax so philosophical on the contents of your blog ?
