Side Trip:
Something’s been bugging me lately.
It’s not that I’ve forgotten something
and struggling to remember. It’s not
that anything upsetting happened and I’m
fretting over a solution.
No, I am being
bugged by bugs.
I’m not usually the
person who gets bit;
it’s my husband who
is the unfortunate
one who can attract
a mosquito within
moments of stepping
outdoors, and it
doesn’t even need to
be evening.
Something was different
these last few
days. I tried to sit outside
in the afternoon to read but couldn’t
get through more than a paragraph before
having to chase away a gnat. The day before
it was the tiny little biters that you can’t
even see, but I definitely felt their sting.
And somewhere the mosquitoes got to
me too. I have a bite behind my ear, on my
neck and on my shoulder. Either one very
hungry bugger got at me, or a crew of them
descended on me unaware.
My theory is the abundance of standing
water is something they thrive on. But they
can go away anytime now.
Remarkably, the one outdoorsy place I
was over the weekend that seemed bug-free
was Preservation Plaza in Arnolds Park for
several nights of free concerts. Thank you to
the park or the city for whatever they did to
keep the bugs at bay.
I’ll be there again this weekend to enjoy
another concert — this time a tribute to
ABBA. Hopefully, we won’t be sending out
an “SOS” or meeting our “Waterloo” over a
bunch of bugs, but instead feeling grateful
for a bug-free zone and saying, “Thank You
for the Music.”
