Steve,
They is GNATS. And they is the ver' same ones dat swarms around dogs' private parts!
They cost me lots of dough every summer. I have found that AyC Grenadiers (Light) cigars will keep'em at bay until it burns out. Bet I smoke a box and a half a day this time of the year at work just to keep 'em away from my face. Co'se Avon makes some oily stuff that keeps 'em away, and Oil of Citronella works, too. But, since I enjoy the aroma of the Grenadiers much more than the Skin So Soft, I light'em up!
Yankees passin' through think we are the friendliest folks, a'wavin' all day.

My ancestors were drinking beer and schnapps in Germany while the War of Northern Aggression was going on so I'm not a Yankee or a Dixie. I will say this though, after living/working in Alaska for 2 years I'll take your southern gnats long before Alaskan mosquitoes. I almost needed a blood transfusion until I discovered Cutter's brand insect repellent and little smouldering piles of Buhach. I suggest you try it. The stuff works wonders on the pesky little devils. By the way could you explain the holes in the britches joke?
