Skeeters
I ran tonight and then upon my return home, I did my customary cool-down-in-the-back-yard-with-a-glass-of-water-and-some-almonds and I got CHOMPED by mosquitos. I counted 8 on me biting at once. Ridiculous! The thing about it is, if I had been out there with a dozen people, I’d have been the only one getting bitten. Mosquitos LOVE me. I don’t know why. Maybe I give off lots of CO2 or something. I was sweating like a pig, so maybe they liked the moisture. But even under ideal conditions, if Maryellen and I are sitting outside together, I’ll attract the mosquitos and they’ll leave her alone. That frustrates me. Bad skeeters….BAD!!

How do almonds cool one off?
You’re not familiar with the cooling effects of nuts? Ahhhhhhhh… so naieve. I was also humming the refrain to “Bohemian Slumlord.”
