Freaking Deer Flies turned my easy run into a workout.  I can't stand those punks.  Always dive bombing my head, and for the first time ever, they made me stop into a Port-o-potti for something other than official business.

Must be pretty serious to willingly enter a PoP.

I think they key in on your breathing and your motion, so next time - stop, curl into the fetal position and hold your breath. After a few hours they will move on.

I don't know what a dear fly is, but it looks like they chased you to a pretty fast last mile.

Those guys are nasty buggers. Is this a common summer plague there?

Winter will be here soon and the deer flies will be gone! All is cured by time and love...
