[RC] Question - Bugs - eekitserika@xxxxxxxx


"Of course, Off and Long sleeves help too."


WELL!  Come up here to dear ol' New Hampshire!  You just might think 
differently.  Up here, our state BIRD is the Mosquito!  I was out putting up 
fencing a few days ago and dressed accordingly - so as not to let things like 
"eight-legged creepies" and ticks into my clothing.  However, thinking that 
because I HAD a T-shirt, a sweatershirt, jeans and tall socks on, I would be 
set against the buzzing kind. 
NOT!  The little stinkers bit THROUGH my jeans.  I have had them bite thru my 
riding pants before, but never thru jeans - either they were seriously hungry 
or some kind of mutant mosquito.  I have skiter bites on my TOOCUS!  I am just 
amazed!  AND that is after I sprayed myself TWICE with OFF, or some other sort 
of bug repellent.
Lesson to learn: Never underestimate the armies at dusk, all that will save you 
in the end is Mid-evil Armor and perhaps a good track record.
