I swear we both voiced the intent to jump in the water to escape them, but we ended up paddling like hell to get back home and run indoors.

I still wish I had some way to do those horse flies in. Maybe if I just covered myself in flypaper and stripped it and all the dead bugs off at the end of every day...T B Bottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-72641668440516159122013-06-23T14:00:40.403-07:002013-06-23T14:00:40.403-07:00I'd be more worried of falling off the boat in...I'd be more worried of falling off the boat into the drink with that suit on.

A more likely scenario would be me stepping out of the house with it during a rain storm. However, I have to ask, why do I always get the blame or credit for the way you kids are? You're all adults now, so it's gonna fall on you- good or bad. Besides,my humor isn't sick, it's just out of the ordinary.T B Bottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-77434797822910420722013-06-21T11:30:28.522-07:002013-06-21T11:30:28.522-07:00I'm sorry I have a sick sense of humor, I'...I'm sorry I have a sick sense of humor, I'm sure I get it from you dad.

They keep saying it's going to rain, but it doesn't- the liars!<br /><br /> Hi Camille- I hope that there are some fish around then- otherwise we'll have to spend our days swatting horseflies for entertainment.<br /><br /> I always wear a baseball cap, but I also use it for swatting the horseflies. I was thinking I should invent an electric suit, then when they land on me, they'd get shocked to death. The problem is, I'm surrounded by water, and it would be my luck I would forget that I had the suit on start spraying down the boat, and I would get shocked to death.T B Bottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-43428320138388466772013-06-20T17:04:23.937-07:002013-06-20T17:04:23.937-07:00They are vicious.
