Yeah for Carcinogen Spraying!!

We have a mosquito infestation here. Seriously. So. Bad. You can't open the doors to enter or exit without 50 flying in the house. Every night I walk around with the vacuum sucking them up (amazingly effective) and douse us all and Gabe's bed three times a day with Off! Lucia sleeps with a mosquito net over her bed.

The other day I was ranting (surprise surprise) that I couldn't believe the government wasn't fumigating. Especially since we have Dengue here. I don't know what I imagined spraying involved, but I certainly wasn't prepared for what I saw today: a pickup truck driving down the street with two guys and a tank in the back, letting out an enormous cloud of chemical smoke. It sprayed all over a huge crowd of people waiting for the bus! I was so confused it took me a few minutes to come to my wits and take out my camera to snap pictures while driving. I chased it for a few blocks trying to get a better picture but couldn't see well enough. This is about a block away.

And now it's raining so all the carcinogens released into the air are probably for naught.
