It was about 4 inches long and when I bumped it so it would move and I wouldn’t run over it it just wasn’t interested in leaving. Proud Army and ALNG veteran God Bless America!

They weren't fast movers either and we shot 'em with BB guns. I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

They were so bad she had to sweep them off of her back porch 2 or 3 times per day. I hated them. You couldn't walk around without squishing a few.

Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends! If being a dumbass was fatal some of you would be on your death bed!
