I believe I can fly

Whatever happened to flies? In the summers when I was a kid it seemed like you always had to have a flyswatter around to kill flies because they were all over the place. Nowadays, you may see one every once in a while. Same goes for mosquitoes.

I have one theory for my hometown where the Boll Weevil Eradication program went into effect sometime in the mid-90s. This program which is probably the cause of all tumors, killed off a lot more bugs than just the boll weevil. Without the bugs, the birds left too.

I really can't complain about bugs being gone, I just thought it was weird.
