Newbie Blog

Hmmm...  What does one blog about?  
I am sitting here doing the laundry at 10:00 am on a Saturday while trying to think of something profound or interesting to say.  Hmmm...
I had a dream last night about bees.  Two dreams actually.  In the first one I was standing on a wide board that was unstable.  I stepped to one side and rocked the board back and forth.  There was the sound of bees under the board.  I got off and walked several feet away and saw that the board was on a big log and there was a bee nest hanging on the underside.  The bees were buzzing around unhappily.  
In the second dream, I turned on the vacuum cleaner and there was a blue spark coming from the switch.  Something was burning in the spark.  I fished it out and found that it was part of a bug.  I poked around some more and more parts came out.  I turned off the vacuum and poked around more and a bee came out alive.  I was inside the house so I squished it, feeling a bit guilty.  Then another came out, and another.  I squished one after another as more came out.  I couldn't keep up.  Finally, I bravely grabbed a pencil with one of those red cap erasers on the end and shoved it into the hole the bees were coming out of.  Phew!  I woke up.
What does it mean?  Things were getting crazy but I was able to stop the bees?  After I woke, while I was still in that dreamy half-sleeping state,  I thought of vacuuming up all the bees, both dead and flying.
