Take Back your Backyard
After 7pm in the summertime, the mosquitoes come out. You itch, scratch, and swat, but the bugs always drive you back indoors. The BugTrap fights back and destroys mosquitoes, by drawing them close with a UV light and capturing them with a silent fan. So enjoy a late night by the firepit. Pour a drink and watch the sun go down on the patio. Turn on the BugTrap and take back your backyard.

<!--t the start of her eighth grade year, Heather was struggling. She was i=
nsecure, and lonely, and she wasn?t getting along with her mom. She worried=
that she wasn?t popular enough, or attractive enough, and that she?d never=
have a boyfriend. These insecurities were hard to talk about. The one plac=
e she felt comfortable expressing them was in Mr. Bailey?s English class. B=
y 1998, when Heather entered eighth grade, the 35-year-old Blake Bailey was=
already a legend at Lusher Extension, a magnet middle school in New Orlean=
s. A published author, he was funny, charismatic, and academically demandin=
g. In his yearbook photo, he looked like an eager preppy, with dark hair pa=
rted to the side and a loosely knotted tie. In 2000, he?d be named Louisian=
a?s Humanities Teacher of the Year. Mr. Bailey expected his eighth graders =
to read challenging books, and to think independently. He made his students=
feel like grown-ups: He cursed in front of them, told off-color jokes, and=
acknowledged the existence of sex. The teacher also wasn?t above acting li=
ke a teenager. In between lessons on Kurt Vonnegut and J.D. Salinger, he sk=
etched Beavis and Butt-Head on the blackboard. At 14, Heather (not her real=
name) was eager to get the most she could out of English class. She went b=
eyond the assigned texts, devouring books that Mr. Bailey personally recomm=
ended to her and other high achievers. Sometimes, during lunch, she?d head =
back to Mr. Bailey?s classroom to talk with him about what she?d read, or m=
aybe about something else that was on her mind. Heather?s English teacher u=
nderstood what she was going through, and not just from their lunchtime con=
versations. Mr. Bailey had each of his eighth graders keep a journal. The a=
ssignment was totally open-ended. They could write about whatever they want=
ed, he told them, even deeply personal stuff?they just had to write somethi=
ng. And Mr. Bailey would read every word. ADVERTISEMENT
Like many students, Heather used her journal as a diary, transcribing her f=
ears, ambitions, and secrets onto its pages. Mr. Bailey jotted reassuring n=
otes in the margins, telling her that she?d grow out of her awkward phase a=
nd be beautiful. ?He was somebody who listened and made me feel like I wasn=
?t ridiculous to be feeling the way I was feeling,? she says now. ?There we=
ren?t any adults in my life who I had those conversations with.?
Heather stayed in touch with Blake Bailey after she went off to high school=
She was happy when she got his letters, and felt reassured that he was in=
terested enough to wonder if she?d gotten past her eighth grade worries. Ba=
iley asked if she?d started dating, and he wanted her to share the details.=
Of course he wants to know, Heather thought. He cares about me.=20
When she was a freshman in college and living far away from home, Bailey, w=
ho was then married, told her he?d be passing through town and asked to get=
drinks. Heather was excited. The idea of meeting up with her beloved eight=
h grade teacher in her own city, over a drink, made her feel mature. The ni=
ght started out great. She remembers Bailey saying something like, ?Ever si=
nce you were in my class, I knew you were beautiful, and you really blossom=
ed.? Heather had always craved Bailey?s approval. Now, he was telling her w=
hat she thought she needed to hear. ?Not having the highest self-esteem as =
a 19-year-old, it was like, Wow, someone always saw something in me.?
ADVERTISEMENT
After a couple of drinks, Heather says, Bailey placed his hand on her thigh=
, then started kissing her. She couldn?t help but feel a little flattered b=
y his attention. At the same time, she thought what was happening was wrong=
She was confused. Heather went back to Bailey?s hotel room, and they had =
what she describes as consensual sex. After that night, they kept up their =
email correspondence but never talked about what had happened. A year later=
, everything repeated itself?the visit, the drinks, the hotel room, the sex=
Over the next decade, Bailey and Heather continued to email. They would u=
pdate each other on their careers, and Bailey would ask about her love life=
When she didn?t reply quickly enough, he would playfully accuse her of ab=
andoning him and say that he felt distraught. His last email came in 2017, =
when he asked her to meet up for coffee. They never did. Heather, who is no=
w 36, had never told anyone about those two nights with Bailey before now. =
?It?s just been something I?ve been incredibly ashamed of, and unhappy that=
I engaged with, my whole life,? she says. ?I?d do anything to undo it, and=
talk some sense into my 19-year-old self.?--->
