I just finished the morning dog walk and I'm all bitten up from mosquitoes and gnats. It rained last evening and the weather is damp and warm at 60 degrees. I got a damned bite in my right ear canal that burns and itches like hell.

Get over to Harbor Freight and pick up one of these, about $5.

It doesn’t always get them, but it makes a gratifying SNAP when you nail one of the little bastards.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Sorry to hear this. I must say that we have no mosquitoe trouble here in Michigan in February. Of course we do have other problems. Smile

Most folks are aware of the mild climate in San Diego, but another great aspect of this place is its low bug population. Few flies or mosquitoes (makes outdoor dining pleasant). I can go for weeks without any bug splats on my windshield, even in summertime.



Serious about crackers

Very true. My son is stationed on Point Loma and the wife and I went out for a week.
We went on whale watching, San Diego Zoo, mountains and the desert,
I can honestly say I only spotted one all week.
So strange.
