WELL HELLO!!!! I realize its been a while since my last installment of the blog and I apologize. Between school, work and my 2 week bout with some unknown illness I dropped the ball. But here it is! The newest installment!!!!!
One of the first aspects of camp that new counselors have to get used to is the Kosher food that one most eat for the 8 weeks that we're at camp. To say it simply, you can't have dairy and meat at the same time or even within a certain amount of time. No cheeseburgers, no cheese or sour cream for your tacos, no pepperoni pizza. NO BACON!!!
What does one do to get around the Kosher food? How does one survive the summer without having a chili cheesedog or BACON?!
The second and most important aspect of camp that new counselors have to get used to is driving to the McDonald's in local Hancock, NY (pop. redneck) where they can get their sometimes daily fix of non-Kosher food. The pilgrimage to the land of the Big Mac is only made better by the helpful and hospital workers of Hancock, NY. But this blog is not to dwell on these sad, miserable peoples. It is however to focus on the other patrons of McDonald's. THE MOTHS!!!!
One night trip to the drive-thru of the Golden Arches will immediately introduce you to these furry flyers. THEY ARE HUGE AND EVERYWHERE!!!! I remember ordering two double cheeseburgers and a large strawberry milkshake to enjoy by myself when as the drive-thru worker handed me my food I was assaulted! NAY!! It was an attack of terror! A kamakaze bombardment organized by the spiked winged leader moth who may very well be the oldest living moth in the history of the world. It's wing span would rival that of Michael Phelps. Needless to say, they took my food. I was left an empty and lonely young man.
The moths don't seem to both you until you are in front of the window and ready to pick up your order. Then the moths slip into your window in swarms of hundreds or more and attack you while you wait. They fly low to the ground of your car and swat at your ankles to scare you to death and take several years off your life. There is no defense; there is no escape.
I have no advice as to how to avoid the moths. I would say don't go to McDonald's but the alternative is no cheeseburgers for two months. CRAZYTALK!!! Maybe just bring a shot gun and you'll be fine!
