Name that bite!!!

It's not one of our favorite games, but it's one that we play quite often down here.

Now, before the three of you that read this regularly get freaked out: Don't worry. This only happens to Lucy and myself because we regularly tramp around the jungle and off the beaten path as part of the gig here. The guests very, very rarely have any bites that swell up and cause alarm. And when they do, it's because they have wandered off the beaten path (which we tell them not to do!).

Nonetheless, it seems that bug bites are our wrinkles down here. If we were back in the States, we would probably spend our time worrying about gray hairs and crow's feet. Luckily, all we have to deal with is the few, odd bug bites that go away after three to four days. Nothing has necrotized or fallen off, so the three of you can just relax and head down here with full confidence that we have seen and experienced pretty much everything you're going to run into down here.

Yeah, and I heard Whitworth bites and Linfield sucks ... must be football season! boolah! ...

Whitworth and the WAC ... a perfect union?

Did you see that story about McMinnville high school football players? Geez, just living in the proximity of Linfield is dangerous to your health...
