Mosquitoes

 Too many in Brandon apparently.

Mowing her lawn, one woman told me, a cloud of them attacked her.

Another woman tells she is having a hard time finding mosquito stuff.

 We’re at Clear Lake: an hour’s drive north of Brandon.  I’ve bought tickets for a cruise boat.  Wuxi, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and soon Clear Lake.

—Pensar como nuestros contemporáneos es la receta

de la prosperidad y de la estupidez.

—To think like our contemporaries is the prescription

for prosperity and for stupidit
