If you think you're too small
to have an impact,
try going to bed
with a mosquito in the room.

I liked this Thought of the Day so much that I've reposted on my own blog,http://reflectionsoutdoors.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/thought-of-the-day-revisited-like-paddling-upstream-against-small-flying-pests/.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mike.
Have you ever read Rugge and Davidson's Complete Wilderness Paddler about their trip on the Moise? On top of the great trip planning/paddling technique stuff, there is some other great stuff on the people on the trip including a whole chapter devoted to bugs - the flying biting kinds.
Canoez that is a great book....re: bugs there's also a great song called The Black Fly Song....which was also made into a couple of interesting videos
Yep. Great book - some parts are a bit dated today, but still great.
Love the chapter on "Mouthwatering"
:-D
