Port's Brush with Bed Bugs

Seattle PI political cartoonist David Horsey blogs about an enounter with bed bugs during a recent trip to Vermont, which immediately preceded a stop at a friend's house in Newburyport.

Sounds like he took enough precaution to keep the buggers in the car.

When my wife and I showed up on the doorstep of some friends in Newburyport, Massachusetts, over the weekend, we left our baggage in the rental car, went to their basement and, laughing about the absurdity of it all, stripped off the clothes we were wearing. The garments went in the dryer for a nice long spin. We were relying on reports that bed bugs do not do well in the heat.

Those are good friends indeed.
