When I was young and scampering at dusk on the High Plains mosquitos were a constant companion. Sometimes I would smash one on my arm and it would be full of my blood. When DDT was sprayed in the alley we would run in the mist. Now I did not and do not like those mosquitoes. It is the new tiny, almost silent, invasive creatures that bring out fear and loathing. When I read about them they carry almost ever disease except Drain the Swamp Fever. But there is good news. Got my hair cut and beard and eye brows trimmed. If I got a ribbon around my neck afterwards it would be much like Manlypoodlekip after a visit to Pat’s Pet Grooming.

It’s another hot and uncomfortable day but one of special meaning. My eldest granddaughter is at this moment having a bridal shower. At the moment my feet are doing a little happy happy dance as I write this. Have the most wonderful Saturday ever.
