Day 13 - Fight Against the Mosquito
There is a game of poker going on in the "living room", but I am not into poker. I may mosey on down there, though, just to check things out. I contemplated making some phone calls, but that would mean having to go outside where I would be attacked by 10,056 mosquitos. I have woken up with quite a few mosquito bites in the mornings (there must be a window without a screen somewhere in this building, and of course all of the bloodsuckers find their way to me), so the other night I waged a battle with my issue of Time magazine (bought at the airport the day I flew to VT - hardly touched) against the relentless mosquitos. Victory was mine as I killed almost all of them - I even decided to leave one little body plastered to the wall as a warning to her voracious friends and relatives. It has worked pretty well as I've only received one or two bites since.

I took to slaughtering the mosquito intrudors with flip-flops..I, too, have a very extensive collection of mosquito memories on my walls. That's right, mosquitoes, you heard the warning!
I STILL have scars from the first week here -- I don't know how I got so many bites, but also how they last so long. I am not exagerating, they are still visable four days later!! Ah, Vermont...
