This must be the best time of year to be a bug.
Be really careful with insect repellent. It's very nasty stuff that will
melt the finish on things like guitars, basses, pianos, etc. I found this
out the hard way several years ago when I was standing next to a keyboard
player who was spraying himself liberally with bug spray. Some of the
overspray found it's was to my guitar and ruined the finish. If you
looked
closely you could see where tiny droplets of this stuff had dissolved
what
they came in contact with leaving permanent marks. Obviously this
detracts
from the beauty and resale value of the instrument so be careful.

When I think of bug spray all I can think of is that Joba "midges"
game in Cleveland. Torre should have stalled for time.
Oh man, do I remember that! It was like something out of the old testament.
That was one of the strangest things I've ever seen during a ball game.
