        Lol now that is a first! We didn't have mosquito fog trucks but off was our summer perfume. Played Barbie dolls under the mimosa tree with my girlfriends. Ken was so cute.

        We ran back and forth through the DDT cloud from the trucks where my Dad was stationed in the 1950's. Used a vacuum cleaner hose to suck all the moth millers off the light fixtures when they got in the house. Made sling shots with bicycle inner tube rubber. #ProudHillbilly

        OMG - we used to camp in the Keys and the kids had trick bikes and rode behind the mosquito foggers and laughed about it. Probably something a Hillbilly dad would laugh at too. Fun times indeed.

        I'm a (former) Yankee and we did many of the things listed- followed the mosquito killing fog trucks, fried bologna, barefoot adventures, etc. North or South we experienced the same America. Ain't that great!!
