Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin' Calamine...

It's been a pretty dry year here, as far as rain goes. The last couple of weeks have been nearly rain-free. Over the past couple of years, I've diligently removed all the ivy from the yard (the leaf cups breed mosquitos), and stealthily thinned the neighbor's ivy farm on the edge of the driveway so that the ground over there will dry out a bit more. No standing water containers to be found, nada. I've also stayed indoors much of this summer, just because, well, it sucks out there.

Today was actually pretty nice though, not too humid, not too hot. So tonight I decided to trim back the azalea bush from hell, and spent about 20 minutes out there.

I have 12 mosquito bites.

On my left ankle.

The rest of me looks similar.

Fuckin' bugs.
