There is a Portuguese bakery I frequent. It is full of very friendly very talkative not so hard working women. During one of my last visits I was asked how the mosquito’s are in the kitchen I work in. I said that there is not a mosquito problem at all. Which she replies “we have a terrible mosquito problem here, its just horrible.” This is where my face looks both scared and discussed. I ask “where is this problem?” The nice lady points to the baked goods display and I see hundreds of fruit flies. I breath a sigh if relief and laugh a little. I tell her that they are not mosquito’s and I give them a quick and very effective remedy for trapping the pests. When I return a few hours later they have set up a few traps and the problem is mostly solved. They are very thankful and I am just glad that there wasn’t a swarm of mosquito’s at my local bakery. Later I find out that the Portuguese call most flying insects mosquito’s. Oh yeah Nick has a solo show at Narwhal Art Projects. http://www.narwhalartprojects.com/ Thursday August 14th 7-10pm. He would like to personally invite everyone in the world. Here is a picture of Nick making part of his window installation.
