re: #380 Jimmah

Great! We have been spending a lot of time out recently, so not much posting. I gotta say, central park is pretty awesome. Visits there and the surrounding galleries/museums are the order of the day right now.

One minor annoyance is that I’ve been getting bitten by mosquitoes, and the bites are itchy and kinda nasty. Is that usual?

Yes it is usual that the bites are itchy and unpleasant. NY is not the worst place for mosquitoes. Down in the DC area where I am, I have seen mosquitoes carry off small dogs and children. People further south will tell you of ones that fight aircraft.

I strongly recoomend the following things.

1. Off (or another repellent) they work and are worth teh few bucks.

2. Caladryll (or however you spell it). It’s a topical cream that has the same stuff in it as Benedryl.
