It means you weren't where the mosquitos are.  Were you camping in the woods near water in all 26 states?

I spent 1 night at Illini state park on the South bank of the Illinois River atMarseille, IL.
Didn’t even put up my tent. The next night on the West Bank of the Missouri near South Soiux City NB. No tent.  Just lucky, I guess. In general, bugs are not bad west of the Great Plains.

I have been in 26 states this Summer and not once have I been plagued by mosquitoes. I don’t know what that means regarding climate. I think I was only caught in the rain once (Marquette MI) while traveling.

That's pretty definitive.  Something going on here.  Glad we were able to make this motorcycle related.

Maybe everyone 's blood got tainted last year somehow and the mosquitos caught something from us for a change and killed off the population.    :thumb:

Funny I was just observing w my daughter how few there are here…we were standing outside on a hot summer night under a huge streetlight. Nothing, no bugs, no spiders, no moths were flying around a light source at night…nothing in south central kahneckticut. Then I found this…





they've gone into hiding cause so many hipsters are eating bugs now instead of domestic animals.

luckily they are little so they can hide almost anywhere.....

I know your secrets.  You either take a lot of garlic, or you take a lot of Vitamin C, or you eat a lot of beans..... or all of the above!

Either that, or, the mosquitoes that access social media are wising up and they're thinking "Drinking that blood might make me contract something like Mad Cow disease.  I'm going vegan!  Plus it'll look great on my Facebook page!"

Interesting thought -
We've had very few mosquitos here this year, maybe because of what you say, or maybe because it's been relatively dry.
But I got flea bites in the spring, and ticks a couple of times.
There's usually something trying to get at us, not only mosquitos!

Our local newsrag in Seattle claims we just had the driest Summer on record. Rain is in the forecast for the 1st weekend in October.

The other possibility is that none of us are as attractive as we used to be decades ago.

Even the mosquitoes aren't interested in us anymore.

Now that I think about it, Hot Chicks rarely hit on me anymore.
