Fish Flies - Ghastly Things.
I crossed the Rock River, at Rockford, Illinois, last night and hit a swarm of the cretins.
Had to stop so as I could clean the Windscreen, so as I could see where I was going.

There must have been quite a few that bit the dust. Get a giant can of fly spray to put in your emergency kit.

Flies...
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana...

Re: Fish Flies - Ghastly Things.
If you want to have problems with ylur windscreen, just try running into a swarm of bees. I was driving along and a swarm decided to fly across the road just in front of me, I must have had around 40 of them splattered on my windscreen, and then I did something stupid, I put the washers and wipers on, very quick stop as I just couldn't see through the windscreen, all the bees had a full load of honey on board, and it just became a very sticky opaque mess. Luckily I had a big bottle of water and a cloth with me, so was able to wash it all off, took about 10 minutes.
