Yep, those blood thirsty buggers are out in force already this year and the flooding type rains of this and last month sure arent helping any one bit.

I was up in the Saukville / Port Washington area of Wisconsin last Saturday and man was I bitten alive. It would have helped it I remember to bring along some spray but I didnt know they would be this bad already in the season. I figured a few here and there and nothing but a few swats of the hand would take care of that but boy was I wrong.

Back home in Janesville, WI the mosquitos have been out for a couple of weeks now but they are no where near as bad as what I experienced last Saturday. Yet anyways. From now on if I go out in the early evening Im coming prepared with a few cans of deet [(-D]

Die you mosquitos!![:D]

[:(!] Have any of you that live near Lake Michigan noticed that recently the mosquitoes have been out? I went train-spotting about a week ago and when I was waiting for some train action, I was being chased by blood-thirsty mosquitoes! I thought to myself that it is still Spring and those blood-thirsty insects are loose. All because of the constant raining around the bottom of Lake Michigan. The flooding of the Milwaukee River is a perfect breeding place for the mosquitoes. Tell me what you think of the mosquitoes everywhere.
