It hasn't rained on the east side of town for a few days and it isn't very hot or humid so I thought I'd go for a bicycle ride to the beach before it got dark.
Wrong… just in the few minutes that I was outside filling the tires with air I was surrounded by a thick swam of mosquitos. What was I thinking, it's summer, can't go out in mid afternoon or you get heat stroke and you can't go out in dusk or dawn or you get eaten alive. I think I must have over two dozen bites from the few minutes that I was outside before I decided that it was a really bad idea.
Remind me why I live here again?
