The Wedding Stinger

For those of you planning to be outdoors in Carlinville between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m., I and my itchy legs recommend you take mosquito and horsefly precautions. Last night someone asked me if I had chicken pox. I'm not joking.

Oh yeah, and do all the other things that make sense if you're going to be camping in a quasi-woodland meadow: don't leave food around that's going to attract the raccoon hordes, don't leave your flashlight at home because you assume there'll be moonlight, and consider brushing up on your medieval French. Also, check the weather one last time before you leave. It's definitely getting warmer, and last night there was a thirty-second thunderstorm.
