Dangerous Job

The other day, I was coming come from taking some papers to Bill up at Tim's shop and saw this crop duster working (or spray plane as they call them here).  I stopped and watched for a while.  I always say that Dad should've done this.  He loved flying and liked doing crazy things in his planes. 

Yesterday Bill & I went out to look at some fields to see if they need to be sprayed.  He was looking for spider mites that normally would be knocked off with rain that we haven't had.  Or, they usually have to spray for aphids which would also kill the spider mites.  But it's been too dry for aphids this summer. We were saying that it's been nice to not have mosquitoes or other bugs this year.  He is out spraying a couple of fields this afternoon.
