It will probably be fairly skeeter free at the Radtke's tomorrow. Got a couple bottles of Wollersheim Fume and some pistachio fluff to share. What are you bringing Bill?

I don't want to brag, but I can take even the strongest mosquito in an arm wrestling match. I can also barre an F chord. Sometimes.

Barre chords are so easy to play. I am always surprised when some burly example of masculinity can’t barre a chord.
I am shocked. I also know why people can’t do it, but I would have to show you and I charge a lot of money for my time- upwards of $3.50 per hour. Of course, I do give a senior discount.

The barre F was my final checkup on nut adjustments when I was setting up guitars. My goal was to make it as easy to play as an Em11. |

Most cities, at least the two I am familiar with (ok, so Newfolden is village) control mosquitoes so well, that it is appropriate and responsible to issue a warning when an expected hatch is so large it will overwhelm whatever measure of control the citizenry has come to expect.
(West Nile is nothing to sneeze at. Mosquitoes are the number one top killer of humans.)
(due to all the recent rain, I wouldn't last five evening minutes outside if I were up at the farm. Here in town, I have yet to be bitten (we have lots of bees, dragonflies, and butterflies PLUS mosquito control.)

I remember, as a kid, riding my bike with friends behind the cloud of the DDT belchin’ mosquito control truck. We would ride in and out of the cloud from one end of town to the other. I’m still alive but parts of me do glow in the dark. And not the good parts, either. |
