 | Black Flies They are out in force! I went road riding today, and I got one in the eye and at least three in the mouth. One in each ear too. Deadly little buggers. They always seem to go in the eye on a screaming downhill when you desparately need to see, and in your mouth on steep climbs when you desperately need to breathe. And to top things off, I almost had a wasp fly into my helmet vent on my way back home. Brutal. Well, not as bad as last year when I had a wasp get caught between my helmet strap and the side of my face and sting me on my cheek bone. That was a bummer.

| One time when I was out biking last year, I accidentally stepped on a wasp or hornet nest and got stung a bunch of times in the ankle. This all clued me in to the fact that I had a bee sting allergy, as I got really itchy and turned bright red. Needless to say, I got the hell out of there and went to the hospital. Now I'm the cool guy with the epi-pen.
