an odd mystery...

Tonight, I was at my brother's house in the city of Surprise, Az. When I arrived settled down for dinner and the Christmas exchange, I looked out back and found 4 ziploc bags full of water hanging on a wire. The wire ran on all sides, inside the back porch's upper trim. Puzzled, I asked one of my sister-in-laws about it and she said that it keeps the flies away. I thought, "Huh?!? What kind of weird shit is my brother getting into?!" My brother who owns the house told me that a friend of his at work had a serious problem with flies because of a horse ranch nearby. This friend used the hanging water bags trick. Results? No flies. My brother also mentioned another friend who had a similar problem with flies in his back yard, did the same trick which only kept the porch free of flies. Hmmmm. Is this some kind of aqua witch craft? ;) Kiddin' ya there! Anyway, my brother reiterated his point:

"Don't ask me why, don't ask me how, but it really WORKS! There has been no flies around since we've put the water bags up!"

As Larry of Graystorm puts it,

"Vee."
