Human bug magnets

Never ever ever ever go bike riding by a body of water at dusk. Unless you want to be a human windshield. I've never felt anything so disgusting. It was like a big blanket of gnats came over us as soon as the sun went down, and all you felt were little dings alllll over -- in our face, neck, legs, arms... and I wanted to scream so bad, but we couldn't because if you opened your mouth just a little, you'd have the bugs for dinner. And you had to shield your eyes by looking down so you wouldn't get blinded, and I was praying the whole time that I wouldn't run into a tree. This is definitely going under one of those things I wish I had known sooner.
