Gotta love the Big Blue Bug

Just back from Xmas with the Illinois In-Laws (and boy are our arms tired, thank you, thank you!). Driving up 95 from T.F. Green, we passed Providence's Big Blue Bug, this year all decked out as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reinbug, right down to the shiny, flashing red nose - along with the shiny blue termite wings (and for the next 20 minutes, Greta kept making up verses about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reinbug - although Nancy probably had the best line about "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you eat my house tonight?"). Bonus: There was an accident on the other side of the road right at the bug, so I was able to do my Providence traffic-report imitation: "Traffic is backed up past the Big Blue Bug!"

I still get just as excited
I still get just as excited when I pass that thing as I did when I was 6 and heading to my aunt's in Providence. It rules (and is frequently decked out as Rudolph at the holidays).
I'll ask you to show some
I'll ask you to show some respect to my friend Mr. Nibbles Woodaway, aka the Big Blue Bug. I have a faux Beanie Baby of Nibbles Woodaway that is on the list of things I would grab in a fire.
