Q: Guess where I'm going tomorrow?
A: Way, way up north Wisconsin on a fishing trip with my whole family, because I just can't get enough of those corn-fed mosquitoes.
Q: Guess who remembered to reserve a boat for this fishing vacation, knowing that on the 4th of July weekend there's no way you'll get a boat last minute?
A: None of us did!
Q: Guess who will be fishing from the pier, hoping to catch her weight in crawfish and sticks?
A: I will be!
And thus I must leave you, dear friends, to embark on an exciting journey to the wilderness. Such deep wilderness that I will be without internet access for four days. FOUR ENTIRE DAYS! It's quite possible that I will craft a crude laptop out of cheese curds and empty Pabst cans just to feel connected to the world. So please don't take offense if you comment and it doesn't get approved until my return... just know that you are in my thoughts during this challenging time.
Happy 4th of July! Fireworks are responsible for over 9,000 injuries each year! A vexillologist is an expert on flags! Over 150 million hot dogs will be consumed on the 4th of July! Go USA!

okay, a bluetooth headset, an internet enabled phone and a kite that reaches 60 feet equals INTERNET ACCESS ANYWHERE.
you can thank me later. via email.

Seriously 150 million hot dogs?
Posted by: Sarah at July 3, 2008 12:49 AM
I might actually like mosquitoes a teensy bit better if they really did eat corn, because the whole "blood meal" thing they've got going on at present really sucks. (Get it?)
And there you go... reason enough to be grateful that while you are lost in the wilderness without wi-fi, at least I'm not there to make terrible jokes for 4 long days.
Happy 4th!

150 million hot dogs equates to about a metric ton of lips and assholes. No matter how you look at it, that's a lot of lips. And assholes.
I'll have a burger, thanks.

Happy Fourth! Enjoy!

I don't have a laptop so me and my girls will be without internet for the whole two weeks of our California roadtrip. I think we all just might explode.

Good fishin' to you and yours! Happy 4th!
Posted by: claire at July 3, 2008 07:42 PM
Have a great vacation...from the internet and with the mosquitoes...and that thanks for all those tidbits!

Will you count mosquito bites after the weekend is complete?
Posted by: sandra at July 4, 2008 05:07 PM
How was your trip? Do you have any blood left after the now jenny-fed mosquito horde?
Posted by: Dave at July 6, 2008 02:46 PM
Happy fourth, Jenny - can't wait to hear about your trip.

brandon:if you wear a bluetooth in northern wisconsin, they drown you for being a witch.
sarah: make that 151 million and one! i did my part this year.
shari: feeding them corn just makes them fatter and increases their blood lust.
sir: because clearly there are no tails or ears in burgers, right? just keep telling yourself that. :)
finn: thank you - same to you!
churlita: wow - two weeks? and here i was complaining about a long weekend. my sympathies.
claire: thanks! we all had a blast!
lisa: surprisingly, i didn't go into internet withdrawal. maybe my addiction isn't as strong as i think?
sandra: you won't believe it, but i didn't get one bite! we somehow found the one part of wisconsin that wasn't infested with them.
dave: it was awesome - and a little bit of deep woods off did the trick!
jess: thanks! working on some entries now.
