Today was the first day of training for the new snack bar couple. They were assigned some other tasks in the morning, so they did not come over to us until just before opening at noon. We had them watch the DVD from the Hunt Brothers Pizza company, then showed them around a little. They got to take an order or two and make a couple of pizzas, but they really did not do much before it was time for them to leave again. I wanted them to come back for a couple of hours at dinner, but the pool was closed because of another storm passing through, so there was no need to have them there. We were dead.

Kevin and I decided to buy an order of french fries from the snack bar to have with our brisket dinner, so we cooked those then went home and ate. I was sitting outside with the cat and watching a TV show on my computer when I noticed a million tiny bugs landing all over me and the computer screen. Even though it was still fairly early, we had to go inside. I could not take the bugs. I bought a bug band to wear on my ankle, I have bug spray, I have a citronella candle burning on our patio, and the bugs still find me. I have huge red blotches all over both legs from some kind of bug bite and I have big itchy welts on my feet from another. The bugs ar the main reason I would not spend another summer here. They are awful!!
