What’s the difference between a lawyer and a mosquito? A mosquito drops off of you after you die. Only a lawyer can make even a mosquito look good.

Following all of the rain that we had earlier this summer, I stocked up on mosquito and buy spray. Despite my supply and demand forecasting attempts, I ran out last weekend and had to quickly re-stock again here in mid-season. Mosquitoes have been that bad.
I did a little checking (click here) on the Google machine and found that the little buggers prefer dark clothes, pregnant women, sweaty folks and beer drinkers, all of which sounds alot like what you’d find at any Saturday night Firehouse dance in the County. (I hear you asking – what about my Saturday night crowd at Buzzy’s Country Store, but I don’t have any pregnant ladies hanging out here right now.)
Further research from the American Mosquito Control Association (yep, there is such a thing) has this advice on which repellents work best (click here.) If you don’t want to do the link, deet is the answer, the more of it the better. Of course, the ultimate solution is also the most effective one – just stay inside.
