Miller Moths Be Gone

Periodically, residents on SFTR are visited by pesky miller moths. In some years, the infestation is not severe, while in others, it is extremely annoying. That has been the case in 2023. At night, if we opened our garage doors, moths would swarm around the lights in the garage and house. We had to start parking our cars in the garage but not entering the house from the garage to avoid a swarm of these critters from entering our home. During the day, if we opened the garage doors, moths would fly out in large numbers, sometimes causing the garage door sensors to reopen the garage doors.

Pickleball at the MOC

First, where did the name come from? Well, four dads on Bainbridge Island, Washington, decided to come up with a game to keep their kids busy on yet another drizzly day back in the 70’s. It evolved very quickly to being more than just a kid activity because the dads really enjoyed hitting the plastic ball with holes. A net (36" because it was waist high) and plywood paddles (ping pong paddles didn’t work well) and a “court” that was 20’ by 40” (happened to be available in back of their garage) plus a dog named “Pickles”….what a recipe for a new game to be called PICKLEBALL!
