    Any other mgm owners notice that horse flies are drawn to their trucks like a moth to a flame? At first I thought it was just a weird one time deal. Every time I am out and park my truck there is always 1 or 2 that won't leave it alone.

    I've noticed that when the truck is clean bugs of all types see a reflection and want to have sex with their reflection. They just haven't ever seen themselves.

    Took my son to Citrus the other day, had about 15-20 horse flies following the truck, stop and they leave for the most part. Move along and they're back, got a few in the cab and son wasn't happy at all. I laughed and made him even more mad. Showed him we just needed to stop and open the doors, flush them out, and move on. Had one that stayed on my side mirror, took him about 5 miles away from home, and knocked him off, do they find their way back home? LOL

    Ain't no doubt about it. Too damn many farts in the truck. And, you know, other things.

    You're on fire 11x!!

    It could also be the dark color reminds them of a horse, or moose, or whatever. It's a large moose-colored object.

    One power plant I worked at had a real bad spider problem, had to make hourly rounds, and this one spider would make a web across the walkway every hour, that was one busy spider. I mean it made a large round web every hour, amazing critters they are.

    Industrious fuckers. Wish we could put them to work. Except for the stinging and biting part.
