While watching the sunset behind the Capitol, I noticed a persistant itch creeping at my leg. I scratch once. I scratch twice. I scratch a third time to discover a raised bump on my calf. Darn mosquitos.
Last week was the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference and as an intern with Congressman John Lewis I was privy to events at the conference actually that is neither here nor there. So I was leaving one event Saturday night, rode the train to the Metro parking lot @ Suitland and got in my junky car. I am driving a long when I notice some bugs flying around the dashboard. I kill one. Suddenly my shoulder starts itching, then my leg, then my other leg. I am so distracted that I can't operate my dern stick shift. I pull over to find my car is infested with mosquitos who used my car as shelter from the rain. It was almost a small storm of them except they weren't in a group. Needless to say I had an uncomfortable ride home and was plagued with mosquito bites.
