Well, we remembered the beer and the sunscreen!  I counted my "bites" and 
stopped counting after 80.  They don't itch, which is a good thing as a lot 
of them are on my arse. I must have gotten those when I wore the bike shorts 
and they just penetrated the thin fabric. Note to self:  Put bug spray UNDER 
your clothes when wearing tight clothing.
