I got stung by a wasp this weekend. That hasn’t happened in about 40 years. It happened while trying to find a nest, which was situated behind the flap of a cardboard box. The sting hurt more, and the pain lasted longer than expected. As a kid, I remember treating those by applying wet baking soda on the area.
Also, avoid buying Hot Shot Wasp and Hornet Killer. Rarely have I ever been so disappointed by a purchase.
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to attend at least one of the San Diego Comic-Cons.

Pentagon quietly updates how it categorizes Iran war casualties
The Pentagon has updated its public-facing casualty database after abruptly revising its Iran war casualty figures last week, when it reduced the number of U.S. troops listed as killed in Operation Epic Fury from 18 to 14 and removed dozens of wounded service members from that tally.
The Defense Department now appears to be tracking casualties in its Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) under a new category labeled Overseas Operations rather than Operation Epic Fury, the namesake previously used for the Iran campaign – in effect restarting its accounting of dead and wounded in the war.
It’s unclear how defense officials are defining “overseas operations” and whether that’s exclusively counting Iran war dead and wounded.
