meanwhile, back at the ranch…
i have to do this in 2 entries because i can’t cut and paste all of it at once.
Argh, i spent a huge long time meticulously punching in an entry one slow letter at a time on my palm, and i lost it.
anyway, we’re here at the ranch and i am blogging from my phone like the total freaking geek that i am.
we went to a tank that was close to see how full it is. there’s a creek where normally there’s nothing but antbeds on the way there. i got out of the car to take pictures of the tank which is literally 6 times its normal size at least, and i was descended upon by a plague of mosquitoes of biblical proportions. i screamed and ran, and you should know that if i do either of those things it’s serious business. both at the same time… well, let’s say it’s rare.
anyway, i ran to the car and refused to go back outside until we went to town to get bug spray.

My sympathies. I hate deer flies, which hurt like hell when they bite; black flies, which are ankle-biters and swarm together and mosquitos. Being highly allergic to bug sprays, I curse those damn insects and wear long, but light clothing.

Ugh – I hate flies too. We have greenheads, which hurt like hell when the bite.
