Mosquito Coast

Last night Sean and I took Frieda to the ball field around the corner from our house and kicked a soccer ball around while muttly sniffed, defecated, etc. We weren't feeling terribly energetic, so when a couple of mosquitoes showed up, we decided to head back home rather than dealing with them. Really, though, there were maybe a dozen mosquitoes buzzing around the entire field and they weren't terribly aggressive. Back at home I trolled YouTube for footage of Alaskan swarms of mosquitoes and found this.

Yes, it's a very accurate representation of summer in the interior. All it's missing is an outhouse and my bare ass.
