Spent about an hour vacuuming them off of the ceiling, and just about every countertop and window sill of M's kitchen. They don't bite, attack, sting, -- just swarm, then drop and die. What lesson in life is to be learned from them, I don't really know.VHenochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07566289897912291058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193627556992077007.post-424084228828461312010-09-22T12:16:41.510-04:002010-09-22T12:16:41.510-04:00Oh, man.

There was even a diagram in the PD that showed how the combination of warmer than usual weather and fortunate (for me!) winds worked together to vector this crop of "midges"* right into the heart of Civilization. Bath, even. Shaker Heights, for sure. You can hear the whining sounds from here.<br /><br />* "Midges" my foot. They're Canadian Soldiers, is what. If you've ever eaten one you can' name them whatever you like.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832573479291712595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193627556992077007.post-60690082197013359192010-09-19T09:20:37.358-04:002010-09-19T09:20:37.358-04:00P.S.
