You have seen the "The Clapper" on television, but "The Clapper" won't work here in Haiti since we never have enough power to have lamps plugged in. Now that I think of it, we don't own a lamp. We have "The Zapper". Well, I don't have one, but Dan, Maddie and Parker have one. What is "The Zapper"? More importantly, why do we need one? I don't really think that this electric tennis racket bug killing thing has a real name. Maybe it should be called "The Cracker" since that is really the sound you hear as all kinds of flying things hit the current inside the tennis racket and get a shock that ends their life. (Please not animal cruelty comments... John) I don't know that I have enough time or energy to have one of these things, but everyone in my family is now addicted to walking around faithfully trying to reduce the mosquito population of Haiti, or at leaset our house. This is a good thing, maybe, since I don't think we can afford stock in "Deep Woods Off" with at least 40% DET. We have found that anything less than 40% DET is really considered candy. We are now reduced to being a family of zappers.
