Too bad for that kid, I thought. Upon closer inspection, it would seem that whoever lost his kite had eaten too many lollipops before he set it aloft. The thing was covered with flies and other forms of debris.
Upon even closer inspection, we found that the federal government left a laminated explanation of the purple thing. It was attached to the rope attaching the thing to the tree. "What is that purple thing hanging in the tree?" the sign asked. Yes, the feds saw us coming. And they were sure we could read. How nice. So we did. We read the whole thing.
The government is hunting down the emerald ash borer and is setting traps for them everywhere. Please read the message for yourself and be on the lookout for these pests. They are among the most wanted.
