Was at the store yesterday and they had those mosquito repellent bracelets for a buck at the checkout counter, I wore it tonight, the damn thing attracts mosquitoes.

Yeah, a real mosquito summer out there. Be sure to wear plenty of layers and protect yourself from that WNV.

I've been wearing a sweatshirt and a hat to protect me, also getting bit by little black flies.

shorts though?  That's brutal. I hate that "eaten alive" feeling, so wear the same thing/attire year-round.  T-shirt when it's 90 or 100

It was a phenomenal evening. Spent most of the afternoon/evening in ORH with some friends.

We got a few bass, pickerel, yellow perch and good size American Eels but never any bullheads. Do you know if it ever produced those?

Never heard of any; yellow perch my have the upper hand now...

Love that feeling when you walk out the door and it feels like exiting FLL airport! Just hits you like a wall, no escape

One of my favorite things in life.  That particular south Florida smell, the heat. Something unmistakable at FLL.

Summer’s officially here! Make the most of it, folks.
