7.30.16 Hillary Clinton drive-by, bugs and caterpillars

Today I found a use for that extra 25' drinking water hose I have lying around.

Dedicated porch hose

While I was taking pictures of Anna's Promise from the cover of the porch while it rained, what I believe to be Hillary Clinton's motorcade went past my house. She's in town for a rally today.

Found a yellow striped army moth caterpillar inside one of the floating rows, but had expected to find caterpillars since I knew I probably missed some eggs.
