No, they are tiny nasty nuisances! But bug spray keeps them away for a while. And Z, NOTHING like the fall in New England! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif It is wonderful, gloriusly colorful and the air is crisp...WHOOO...get zippy just thinking of it!

Oh and those black flies? They have a fairly short cycle..not all summer. I'm going to spend a litle time and my dad's camp in NH. On a lake in the woods...loons on the lake..oh man, what an eerie sound at night! Dad and stepmom have a pontoon boat and dad says they just got a paddle boat! TEEHEE...I'll be thinking of you when I'm there, Webmeister! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
