If I am out for my run at a particular time each morning, and if I take the same route and pass the same house at about the same time, I always run into the same problem. This house has a black lab puppy. Beautiful dog. Now the dog itself isn't the problem. She's...
What is there about me that attracts black flies? I can be in the same place as the rest of my family, and they all leave without a single bite while I am literally covered. And to top it off, I must be a bit allergic to them, as each bite-site tends to swell into a...
