So there I was last night, enjoying the last evening of my week-long vacation by grilling some brats over the fire, when out of nowhere I'm viciously attacked. When it was all over the back of my head was burning (figuratively, not literally on fire. I figured I should mention that since I was grilling) when I ran inside to tell my wife that I had been attacked by, well, something. I don't really know exactly what it was, but it was some sort of evil, wicked, malicious insect with a stinger.

I was just minding my own business too. Just grilling away, flipping brats and enjoying the night. I didn't even see the venomous creature after I grabbed the back of my head in horror and pain. So it's hard to say exactly what it was. I did go out a few minutes later and saw a wasp or some sort of yellow and black thing flying around. He was probably the attacker. Why go back outside after such a terrible assault you ask? I had to go out and get the brats. He left me in pain, he wasn't going to leave me hungry too.

It was an unprovoked attack, and it seriously hurt really bad. I'm not that big of a wuss either (some might disagree with that I suppose). It was right in my hair too. My wife looked for a stinger, but didn't locate one. My wife said her grandmother used to put a baking soda/water mixture on bee stings. We tried it. It sort of worked. It's not so bad today. It's just a little sore, and it itches. Maybe the baking soda worked.

But I guess I'm going to have to investigate to see if there's a nest somewhere by my house. But I think this investigation is going to require a nice thick helmet...and some running shoes.
