But it was a day of father-son togetherness, which is more important. And lasting. Still, they should have stopped by the West Side Market on the way home and picked up some walleye.
In da U.P. of MI, we don’t have measly little mosquitos…nope, instead we have what we call “chicquitos,” meaning chicken-sized mosquitos. The hatchlings are the size of hummingbirds. Both hatchling and adult will bleed you dry. Seen many deer, cows, horses, even hoomans carried away by these beasts. The males are just as big, but the only thing they are after is beer, as depicted in a recent strip of Zits.
the horseflies and yellowflies more than make up for our lack of mosquitoes here in japan’s great white north, but thanks to hotter springs and summers lately we’ve been seeing mosquitoes, too, from time to time. i’m looking forward to that familiar whining buzz in the ear in the middle of the night, just like the old days in tokyo… ☺

You should have brought mosquito repellant.

I am fully convinced that fish only bite two times a day. Just before I arrive and right after I leave.

The fish had more sense than get bitten by mosquitoes.

Useless bit of trivia regarding mosquitoes…only the females bite.

Which one of them can row a boat for fishing? I don’t see Brutus owning a huge boat.
