Covered in Blood


Mosquito blood that is.  I went on a practice backpacking run in the forest preserve and only lasted about 45 minutes before I decided to get the hell out of there.  I do not like looking down at my arm and seeing five bloodsuckers latched onto it.  You start to feel them all over your body and its enough to make you go crazy.  Well, not really.  But add that to the blister you feel forming on your left heel because you're trying out new insoles and you get pretty close.  Oh, and it was also raining lightly.  Which just added to the fun.

Sometimes I like to remind myself that bad weather can lead to good things.  Witness my house in Ghana last summer during a rainstorm:
