A picture tells the story. There were 65 dead ones, mostly around the windows. Yellow jackets die off quickly and try to get out via the windows. Friday we will open up the closet. I’m betting there will be well over 200 hundred dead ones.

GPS Order is restored
On Saturday August 9th, my car got broken into and the Nuvi 360 was stolen. The window was fixed last week and today I received the replacement navigation unit.
