    Man!

    I walked out to the shop before sunup a couple of days ago and took a big slug of coffee and DRANK one of those dang bugs.

    Just one, so I can't imagine what you guys must have gone through.

    My ever sympathetic wife told me they are probably a good source of protein.

    Very funny.

    I drove through a swarm of those ugly little buggies in northern Mississippi a few years ago. People were stopping by the side of the interstate because they couldn't see. None of the gas stations had any windshield scrubbers left. My Mustang had a vinyl bra on the front. I NEVER got all the bug innards off of the bra, and ended up tossing it. It took me hours to remove all the innards from the car.

    Whoa. And I thought our little Love Bugs were bad. That is really unbelievable. Makes me crawl just seeing them. How long do they stick around? Are they only here for a little while, like the Love Bugs, or are they around almost all Summer?


    Yuck..............

    Just think of all the great fishing you could do with those mayflies Now if only you could see where your going.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    Sure glad we don't have any bugs in SoCal, I guess it's the smog that killed 'em off years ago.
