Pesticide Bath...dun dun dun
I had a very "Plain City" moment with my family the other night. We got gung-ho and went on a family bike ride to the town square. We had the kids in the bike trailer and Gary was the only smart one to bring sun glasses. We were having a great time with great weather and visiting with neighbors as we pass, until on the way home we hear the faint buzzing of an airplane......... The mosquito abatement plane flew over our little route 4 or 5 times. It was spraying pesticide all in its path and it was bug spraying us as well. The chemicals hit our eyes and made our eyes water and BURN!!! so for about 1/2 mile we were stopping to wipe our eyes and tell the kids to stop breathing since it was EVERYWHERE!!! Moral of the story: don't go biking at dusk..EVER! :) ooh maybe i'll get to smith and edwards and get a gas mask. i would look so cool!

Sorry I'm laughing at your pain... that is so Plain City!
I really think the best plan would be to get the mask & still go bike riding at dusk. If you could just let me know when you do:)
Funny how those family moments all too often turn out less than perfect. Now you will always remember your "special family bike ride".
Welcome to Plain City. Isn't it great. At least you got a great story to tell.
