Love bugs
be damned! :curse::curse:
Had the car detailed this week, and lo and behold the entire front is one big huge bug splat!
I detest the bloody things.....:curse::curse:
Do y'all get them where you are?

Re: Love bugs
We got them where I grew up on the Gulf Coast, not so much here.... occasionally, though. I thought they were cute! 
The June bugs started hatching in the Hill Country, haven't seen any here yet.
NB: when I was young, I didn't have to worry about driving and cleaning the car. Surprised though I didn't hear my father complaining about them -- I guess we never had an extra-heavy infestation.
Ah the joys of coastal living, love bugs and hurricanes!

Re: Love bugs
I should have listened to my friends who warned me about bugs in FL and suggested we settle in San D. rather
They congregate all over the cars, I should take a pic.
