Missed Her By Thaaat Much

I was up in North Bay the other weekend.

And was there either at the end of or the beginning of Shad Fly season.

Now Shad Flies don't have the best life.  They live for less than a day and their sole job is to mate.  And once they land, that's it.

So if you don't land directly on your date, as these guys didn't, then it's "No whoopee for you!".

And the reason I know I was there either at the end of or the beginning of Shad Fly season, is because the middle of Shad Fly season looks something like....

Or......

 

Or......

Because they are everywhere.

All over the streets and sidewalks, on building walls, on your car.  On your BBQ. On you! In your hair.

But don't worry. Because their sole job is to mate and since they live less than a day, they don't have a mouth.  So no bites as they land all over you.

But they do go, crunch crunch when you walk down the street.

So the next time you are having a really bad day, just think of these guys.

Of course, some people say they can't tell much difference between these guys and me sitting on my couch.  But that's another story......
