[VFB] Huge Swarm Of Midges in TEXAS !

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Son of a Gun!  I just received a tiny little box with about a zillion midges cramed into it from Bob Haering.   My getting these flies was because Bob and you guys took pity on me and tied an extra fly for me!  In case those of you in the Haerbob's Midge Swap have forgotton, I was out of commission with trigger thumb on my right hand and couldn't tie at that time.  Had to have an operation to get it fixed. Had the same procedure on my left thumb in Oct., 2000.

Anyway, Gang, I just wanted all of you to know how much I appreciate this.  That's the big thing about the VFB.  We all take care of each other.

But, hey, I did write a poem about Midges and sent it to Rene to post on the swap site. So, I'm not a complete direlect ;~)) In case you missed it, here it is below.

Midges - by Jimmy D

I can't see'em, but I can hear'em
but I sure as hell can feel'em.
I feel'em when they get in my eyes.
I feel'em when they get in my ears.
I feel'em, the tiny fluttering flies,
being washed away by my tears.
Yes, I feel'em , but these hands cant tie'em.
Alas, my friends, I'll just have to buy'em.
