My GF has a church board meeting tonight, so I had dinner with her and then saddled up the cross bike, with headlight attached, and headed out on the bike trail.
Little did I know that the local ants had decided to have their mass mating flight and party tonight along the trail, which winds along the Mohawk River and usually has it's share of little flying things on summer nights anyway.
Tonight there were clouds of these little winged ants all flying around and I ended up covered with them . . . my face, my head, clothes, socks . . . everything covered with itty-bitty flying ants.
Of course it's a true miracle how all of them manage to come out on the same night to do their thing--like the Monarchs all returning to Mexico or homing pigeons finding their way home or sea turtle returning to the beach where they were born across thousands of miles of ocean to lay their own eggs.
But I sure wish they'd put up a sign or something so I could ride elsewhere and wasn't still picking them off of me. :crap: :p
