Saturday Paper - balanced article, but mostly positive.
My guess is that someone at influential 3rd Avenue Value Fund in NYC was able to plant the idea for the article -
Anyhow, its interesting to see the article in there - particularly since most WSJ readers have little to zero awareness of "The Beach" 😉

rapunzelBeach FanaticPoint Washington2,514 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticToday we went wandering around a lot on the bay and were surrounded by a cloud of the small mosquitoes that are striped and have a nasty sting. I had on jeans and long sleeves, but they managed to get my ankles and face!
When we got home we went up to the crow's nest to watch the sunset and they are out in force here in Seacrest, too.
Of course, what WSJ really should worn readers about is the dog fly. Those boogers render the beach unusable.

iqueequegBeach LoverSnowy Boston102 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach LoverWe live up here in New England and about 2 years ago my daughter got Lyme disease from a tick bite. She was hospitalized for 4 days for knee inflammation and had an emergency knee arthroscopy before they figured out what it was. Our next door neighbor got Lyme encephalitis and was on intravenous antibiotics for six months (she's fine now). Lyme disease is almost epidemic in some parts of New England right now.
Mosquitos and biting flies seem like pretty small potatoes compared to ticks.

That's a damn good point - If anyone cares, the CDC has this national risk map on Lyme disease. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/riskmap.htm

Does anyone have a national Mojito Infestation Map??

If I remember correctly anything mixed with Tonic will deter mosquitos.
