Looking forward to this summer's holiday (Crete) and back to last year's (Hawai'i)
In our 2003 accommodation, we inherited a half-full bottle of insecticide, which had the minutest printing I've ever tried to read.
"Guaranteed 100% effective against chiggers and noseeums" it claimed.
"Wtf are chiggers?" we asked our host, a dour Tyke.
"Horse ticks" was the laconic reply - like we were on first-name terms with ticks.
"And what do noseeums look like?" I asked (instantly regretting the question)
The look I got in response can only be described as
aporetic.
