The dead skeeter game took place on the baseball field, and in the dugouts, behind the High School in West Berlin, Germany. :o Not sure if Berlin American High School still exists, I doubt it. I'd guess, knowing what I now know about skeeters, that the standing water in the dugouts and behind the backstop, and in the woods behind the school, was where the skeeters came from.
Speaking of skeeters:
Here in Corpus Christi, the West Nile madness has begun again, and when it rains here, the skeeters just appear out of nowhere. Go figure, this being in the humid coastal plain of a semi tropical climate, where rainfall, this year, is double the annual average so far.
There are a variety of foggers and other chemicals we put on the grass now and again, but when we do, we have to keep the dog indoors for a day. He does not mind, since he loves to lie on the cool tiles in the kitchen on hot summer days.
Cigar smoke still works, however. :D
