the thing about summer

mosquitoes. the thing about summer is the mosquitoes.

today I found myself a little annoyed at myself that I purchased those birkenstock sandals, signaling the start of summer. in doing so, I also inadvertently invited the biting menace to return. today I was out enjoying the outdoors and the summer sun (a great way to spend the day--I definitely recommend it to you), but unfortunately I've been inundated with mosquito bites. swelling, growing mosquito bites.

then I got to thinking. a mosquito doesn't choose to be a mosquito any more than I choose to be a human. which is to say, not at all. they are just trying to eat to survive. that said, a mosquito also can't make something cool. they simply don't have the necessary creativity aspect. birds are creative. birds make cool things. they build nests, stack sticks. collect trinkets. and birds need to eat. and some of them eat mosquitoes. so I guess mosquitoes can hang around even though their bites are annoying.

luckily they haven't been itching too much.
