I am sure it was. But, I have a new respect for love bugs.

When I was a kid we used magnifying glasses on bugs to burn them up.
I avoid killing anything now.
Well, except for fish I'm fixing to eat.
Sometimes I feel bad about eating meat - when I see Babe.
But a BLT really hits the spot.
I'd be a vegetarian except for BLT's.
Well, and maybe hamburger, steak, ribs and such.
I once read a sci-fi story where this electronics whiz developed an
electronic "listening" device in his basement, which could hear
vegetation speak.
As soon as it started working he heard the moans of a tree his
neighbor was pruning, and the screams of some flowers being plucked.
He knew he had made a mistake in devising this listener, and knew he
was going to go crazy.
Then his wife started mowing the lawn, and the wails coming from that
mass murder sent him over the edge.
So there's another reason I won't go vegetarian.
