You're making the mosquito situation here more tolerable by talking about how bad it was there.

Happy to see you're still there and have hopefully conquered the sqeeters. Seems like double jeopardy that a harsh winter brings out the worst bugs for summer :-(. No bugs here, but it's scary dry.

I was about 15 or 20 short of the bridge (going the other way) and stayed in a campground that was so bad I had to get into my tent and stay there (from about 4 pm). I never had a worse night.<br /><br />The pie does look very good.

We had never heard of them and had no idea what had happened except we were certain we'd become part of a plague of Biblical proportions. They are suppose to come and go between Mother's Day & Father's Day so hopefully, you've missed that! I wouldn't wish it on anyone!
