Ha ha, Midge-geddon! I love it! However, I'm glad I will not be there for it. Thanks, Mike!

I have a total Pavlov's Dog [edit: Pavlovian? Is that the right expression?] response to reading about midges. I have an itchy head again.

Gerry, I have the same reaction when I go out in the morning to let the chickens out. It's mosquito season and even if I'm not bitten (and I take every precaution), my legs still itch for a bit when I come back inside.

Been up since 2Aug.
Midges hardly an issue...the rain is helping.
