Is it just me or is anyone else subject to a merciless attack by mosquitoes? I swear, I must be listed in the "100 places you must bite before you die" tour book of mosquitoes. This morning I woke up, looked in the mirror at my back and thought I was looking at a map of a battlefield.

Yeah, they're mosquito bites. 20 minutes after I woke up they were gone.

My wife, the un-understanding wench, thinks it's funny. No lie (and it ain't often that I'll make THAT statement!) we can be sitting on the front yard swing snuggling, the little bastids will bite me UNDER where she has her arm around me!

My wife, not a nip and trust me, she's much tastier than I am! Ive bathed in DEET, eaten enough garlic to kill a Frenchman, gone without showering at night, showered three times a day, switched soaps and shampoos, even thought about getting a blood transfusion from the dogs.

You KNOW it's bad when you complain about mosquitoes in the desert!
