Ray's Thought for the Day - Comfort Station Flies

As our little globe orbits along through space and time, seasonal patterns erupt upon the globe and tiny organisms time their activities respective to that same global orbit, co-incidentally. Thus, for the nonce, the comfort station flies have arrived, co-incidentally with the lesser goldfinches and the ripe sunflower seeds all in a timely fashion respective to the orbit.

I have checked with the several regulars who enjoy their ablutions in the CB Boy's Comfort Station, and all of those authorities, even Red, state unequivically that they have never observed a Comfort Station Fly outside our Boy's Comfort Station.

The Comfort Station Flies are mighty cute little flies, only about 3mm from stem to stern. They have pretty little tear shaped heavy veined wings. Their facial expression is clever but inoffensive. Indeed, they are nowise pestiverous, simply abiding in the sink or toilet until such time as the sink or toilet is employed by a human or proto human for an ablution activity. At such time they fly around a bit, but with no great alacrity. They are easy going flies.

Perhaps one of these flies would be willing to sacrifice the remainder of its short life to pep up Raymone's photo log of important organisms inhabiting the CB. We'll see.
