tyler decided that there was no reason for the existence of mosquitos. most of the time, i try to contribute some rational ‘circle of life’ type logic to explain things…but i must say…sometimes it’s difficult. castle crest trail was supposed to be full of beautiful flower-filled meadows, in the midst of forest. oh, and a creek. definitely the makings of some kind of wonderful. alas, the constant sucking of your blood made it somewhat difficult to enjoy. i’m willing to live and let live…but mosquitos don’t quite do that, do they? i believe they are pedators (actually they’re vectors…but still). they still cause millions of deaths worldwide per year. and they ruin a perfectly good nature walk.
