It's just Mother Nature's way of saying, 'I love you, Journeyman Electrician. Feed my creatures now and I'll make sure no grizzly bear humps your ass this summer'.
There now, don't you feel more special?

We also saw a mozzie yesterday and couldn't quite believe it - there is still snow!
Oh well, off to get some bug spray

Re: First Mosquito of 2008
Hi All
Just have to ask you about the Canadian Mozzies
I have heard they are bad over there and must admit it worries me, I went to Scotland a couple of years ago and got bitten to death and driven insane by the damn things, I must have sweet blood as they adore me whereas hubby never gets bitten (always telling him he's rotten lol)
We have not decided on which province/area we are moving too yet, just waiting to find the right job, are some provinces worse than others for mozzies, are they worse near lakes etc, does the repellant actually work over there (it didn't in Scotland)?
May sound silly that Mozzies worry me but any info/advice would be appreciated
