The hazards of hobbies.

Last night I got my first mosquito bite of the season - right below my left eye. How the heck I missed a mosquito landing there and biting me is beyond me. I'm guessing I was busy digging in the dirt and assumed it was my hair, which tends to flop annoyingly in that vicinity.

Bottle of Newc: 150 calories, 15g carbs
Cap'n Morgan's Private Stock: 94 calories, 2.7g carbs
Paul Masson Brandy: 56 calories, 0g carbs
