Mosquitoes

Dallas has been inundated with rain. We've had a hard-to-fix roof leak on that stupid flat roof. (Why would anyone have a flat roof anywhere but in West Texas or the Middle East?) And the mosquitoes are out in force. Every door of our house has a colony of the biters lurking, just to try to get in. I have the pests in my car! My new perfume is Deep Off Woods (25% Deet) and I have about 12 current bites. Fortunately, these aren't the kind that give West Nile Virus.

To make matters even more annoying, my husband does not get bitten. Oh, he'll get the occasional tick attached to tender parts when we go to the ranch, but mosquitoes just don't like him. He doesn't spray at all and he just never gets bitten. NO fair.

I'm waiting anxiously, for someone to do his DNA and give me some of that.

And how did none of that special DNA make it to any of his daughters? We are all loved by mosquitos.
