This blog is for all of you blog readers who do not live in a state, county, or city which has mosquitoes (of course, if you do live somewhere which has mosquitoes, you can also read this posting, but you may just laugh at our first experience with whole-town mosquito spraying).
This is a squashed mosquito. It flew by as I was writing this posting (got to use a little imagination here).
I'm assuming you read through the parenthesis above even if you don't live with mosquitoes, (you Curious George, you), so you already know I'm going to be talking about the fact that North Platte is currently spraying for mosquitoes. Yes, North Platte, the city, not individual residents (though they may be as well, I haven't asked yet) is spraying nightly to get rid of their pesky, potentially West-Nile carrying mosquitoes. Apparently, because the North Platte river is flooded, there is more of a breeding ground for mosquitoes. There is a spraying map and everything. Here, take a look: http://www.ci.north-platte.ne.us/files/misc_info/mosquito_spray_map.pdf
Well, that's it for now. Short, simple, and to the point.
Mosquitoes...lots of them...
that's bad.
Killing mosquitoes with city-wide spray...
that's good.
