Cricket Hunting?

Singer Buddy Holly was born on this day in 1936, and he later formed a band that was known as "The Crickets." When you lie down to sleep, various things often keep you awake -- like loud music, sirens, and traffic. If you're a light sleeper, even little things will keep you tossing and turning -- like dripping water, a ticking clock or even a little insect like a cricket in your house. To catch that pesky little cricket, dampen a few wash cloths and spread them out in your kitchen and bathroom sinks. Put more wash cloths out on a couple of dinner plates, and set them on the floor near where you think the cricket's likely to be hiding. Then go off to bed. In the morning you'll find your noisy little intruder snoozing away in one of your wash cloths. And that's the On The House tip for today.
