Re: Off topic - mosquito legends

["Al Anderson" <killiman at iquest_net>]

I was on Grande Isle at the State Park on the end of the island. I walked
across the grass from the fishing pier to the parking area and was attacked
by a cloud of those Mossies, My wife was sitting in the car and locked the
car door because she did not want any of them to get in the car. They drank
their fill and flew off then she opened the door for me. I have never seen
so many of the darn things in one place before. I have not wanted to return
there again because of those mossies.I was covered with repellant at the
time.
