I hate Palmetto...
...bugs, that is - ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

But I did name it Charlie right before I threw a book at it and squashed it. Then had to have a talk with my dogs for allowing it to come in through the doggie door where the one male dog loves to push the doggie bed next to the doggie door then sticks his head out the doggie dog while keeping his body in the nice ACed house. His version of - look Mom, I'm guarding the yard!
