  1. too hot for me already. Did not even cool off last night practically.
    to top it all I saw 2 mosquitos yesterday and I usually only see two the
    whole year and only in the summer. Who says al nino is over.
    Wonder if this is going to be a bad one for those vampires.

    What constitutes "too hot"? It didn't even hit 40 F here today. I'd
    gladly take the skeeters.

    15C but I do not like the looks of mosquitos already. bad sign
    Sudden change too but I should get use to it no problem
    It was snowing cherry blossoms last night.
    Still 15 is even colder than other places hit in BC earlier.

    I saw Ontario get 18C earlier too. So what are you complainin' 'bout.
    this is a wet heat. You wouldn't like it. : > )

  7. Two mosquitoes??

    You remind me of my neighbor. One evening he and I were out on his
    porch talking and a single mosquito came by and was bothering him. He
    tried to kill it but failed. Finally, in deperation, and against our
    preferences, he decided we would have to go into the house to continue
    our discussions.

    I couldn't harldy believe it! One lousy mosquito chased a grown man
    into his house. It cracked me up! :-)

    I am not scared of mosquitos. I am scared of the Nile virus which has
    forced the annilation of countless chickens, ducks and geese in BC.
    Also, I have 8 lovebirds which I worry about. I just kill the suckers.
    Pardon the pun. What I was trying to get across is that it could be
    the worst year ever for mosquitos in 40 years. Who is to say it won't?
    Weather this last winter being what it was.
    Why do people always see things in the worst light. Gosh, you remind me
    of Bush. : > )

    I heard a Texas mosquito joke a while back.
    Two mosquitoes where looking at a fisherman.
    One asked "Should we eat him here or take him home?"
    The reply
    "No, if we take him home the big ones will take him away from us."

    Some of the places I ride and boat the mosquitos are counted in the
    hundreds when counting feeding on you, in the thousands when those in
    sight and the millions when referring to the local population. I do
    have the solution, and while it may not be the healthiest thing in the
    world it can't be worse for your health than thousands of bites, and
    it's far less annoying. I don't think it's on the enviro love list,
    however.

    95% deet, 100% effective to skeeters. Available at finer A/N &
    outdoor stoors, and most trading posts.

    Greenheads are the one's that there doesn't seem to be a 100%
    effective forcefield for. I'd pay top dollar for that.

    I fully expect it to here in SC. We didn't have a lot of winter this year.
    I managed to ride through most of the winter with just a few too cold days.
    The bugs will be out in force this year. That means I won't be outside come
    evening. Bugs (vamps) don't bite if you're moving on a bike. Mostly, that
    is.
