Natural disasters tend to knock a few people off line now and then. And they
also tend to disrupt servers. If some of the physical stuff that connects
people to cyberspace got drowned, they may be gone for a while. Sure hope
everybody is ok.
Ladybugs (their babies) are voracious aphid eaters. I don't remember ever
having any problem with aphids on tobacco (a luscious snack for aphids, and
with monoculture inclinations for major aphid epidemics) except the year I
sprayed with something for budworm and hornworm control, which of course
killed all the ladybugs. I have huge natural populations here, but I think
you can buy them.
