The other day I bought some sacks of manure and, as I was spreading it
in my garden, one of these monsters ambled away from the vicinity of
the sacks and started across the driveway.  As I was swooning away
into a dead faint (not in the direction of the manure), a hero bluejay
swooped down, and, with some work, had the monster for lunch.  Long
live the birdies.  The monster wasn't a Japanese beetle;  I believe it
was a relative of Godzilla, myself.
