You guys have to watch the sports highlights tonight.
I’m watching the Detroit Tigers baseball game right now, and in the first inning, out of nowhere, a swarm of some flying insect decended on Comerica Park by the millions!
Not sure what they are. Too big to be gnats. They don’t seem to be biting anyone; just irritating them. They didn’t stop the game, so you have this bizarre scene of 30,000 people running for the concourse, swatting themselves and waving their arms.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Could this be the plague of locusts prophesized for the end times, wreaking havoc initially on the American League for the designated hitter rule?
And I just HAD to leave my satellite dish for my internet connection yesterday, didn’t I? Oh well. I had my share of mosquito bites. I figure I’m set until next year.
Truly bizarre! Sounds almost like the mayfly infestation around here in spring. (May, actually. sigh)
For about a week, zillions of delicate little green winged bugs hatch out. At night they swarm in clouds, sometimes so thick the streelights look like they’re shrouded in gauze. They don’t bite or anything, but they get in your hair, your car, your teeth…yuck!
Though it has a certain scary science fiction appeal.
Hey, any major outdoor sports venue near a bat flight?
