Riding home along the paved Don trail Tuesday night was brutal. I was all schweaty from my mtb ride and it was just around sunset, when the flies are at their worst. I swear I gained about 3lbs in bug corpses. I'm also pretty sure they all committed suicide once they splorked onto me and stuck there due to said schweatiness... hehehe. Had to ride with my mouth closed and still sucked a few into my nostrils and had some go into my ears.

Wasn't so bad last night on my way outta there since I rode earlier. They seem to be FAR worse when the sun isn't out full force. I guess that's fly siesta time.

Also: Ran into Darkmother last night in Queen's Park.
