You can't sit down anywhere without 5 flies landing on you. I think the worst time a fly can bother you is when you are in the car. We have all been in the car and had a fly continue to land on our head all the way from Jerome to Twin Falls.
September 30, 2013 I may be dating myself by admitting that I remember these things about Twin Falls, but my Grandmother always said age was a good thing.
