10 days ago, below zero,<br />5 days ago, below freezing,<br />yesterday, I swatted the seasons first mosquito!!!<br /><br />I still have snow in the yard and 20 inches of ice on the lake.
My sympathy, Roscoe.<br /><br />But why flame vultures? They are ugly as sin, but they are really beneficial critters.<br /><br />How about "blood sucking leeches"?
Sorry, JB. I guess skeeters don't feed on dead bodies , so a bad analogy. But I like leeches, they catch me plenty of table fair.<br /><br />Yes BOB. Wisconsin skeeter fest is about to kick off, May first. Runs till late October. Organizers have been trying to have all the festivities take place along our southern border , but everyone wants to get in on the fun, so it pretty much goes on across the entire state.
Sorry Roscoe, I have yet to be bit this year. I was inside working on the house during the warm weekend. I sure hate them. Trying not to get that repellant on the bait and lures while fishing is next to impossible.
