Hey Kendall.

I have some new designs that none of this crowd has seen yet. Sorry to be missing you and Jacqui this year I missed all the fun last year so I was hoping to see everyone.

I am suprised at all this yammering about Mosquitoes. Don't they have them in some places besides New York State? Of course few are as big as variety we have in central New York. They come out of the wet lands created by the old Erie Canal bed. Anopholese Gigantus Syphona is the only incident of cross species breeding that we know of. The mosquitoes that caused the Yellow Fever that killed so many Irish laborers in Montezuma Swamp during the digging of the canal has since crossed with the Great Blue Herron. The resulting animal is quite large. They fly in packs in the early spring and are often confused with Canada Geese when seen at a distance. There is an unconfirmed report from one of two men who were injured and a third killed while digging a canal feeder stream. The skeeter stabbed through the non critcal parts of the first two men at once only to suck the life and blood dry of the third man in the row. The other two were immediately cured of alcoholism. They claim it is because of the bite itself that the cure was affected. Some say it proves the possibility of accupunture.

Well Jeri. I expect I'll see you any way. You can always stop by the Skipper's, wave your wrist about and gloat.
