I like that idea a lot. It would be perfect for the bedroom windows here. Usually I use the tape and plastic kits, but I like the idea of a permanent but removable solution much better. Next year!

One interesting thing I've noticed about mosquitoes is that this phenomenon seems to depend on location. The local mosquitoes favor my husband. In other states or countries the situation is often reversed. When we visited Cuba the government was doing aggressive mosquito control due to Zika. I still got disproportionately attacked.
Many years ago I was acquainted with college kids who used it exclusively to mask the fact that they didn't believe in deodorant. Weed was certainly involved on some level, but I remember sooooo many unsolicited lectures about the dangers of bathing with soap every day and wearing "chemicals" when all you really need is a good sebaceous barrier to protect your skin and some nice patchouli.
Barf. Barf barf barf.
It was years before I smelled patchouli on its own - without the underlying BO funk. It's not objectively bad, but I can't disconnect it from the unwashed masses of prep school kids who were suddenly untethered from their dress codes.
Regarding insulation, how are your windows? There's a wide array of removable tape, caulk, putty, etc that can seal up the tiny cracks between the window and the frame. I've found this this helps a lot.
Oddly enough, I've found that many of my younger coworkers can't touch type. It makes sense that they won't use two spaces if they never learned that muscle memory. It seems unlikely that someone who's using the hunt and peck method would have that habit ingrained.
I was gonna say....
They certainly return the favor. Last year a nest cam caught a pretty spectacular eagle attack on a Great Horned Owl nest. (spoiler - the chicks were unharmed but the mother put up a spectacular fight.)
No one can win on this one.
Seat the smokers in back and "oh no, I have to sit next to the kitchen and restroom."
Seat the smokers in front and "oh no, I have to walk through the smoking section to get to or from my seat, or go to the restroom."
Or at least that's how Denny's was setup in our town.
Angry Susan.
Canadian milk also costs a little more in comparison.
If I remember correctly, Journey to the Center of the Earth (1960s, starring James Mason and Pat Boone) had a scene where they discovered an intact Roman street underground and they found this exact type of bread in one of the food stalls. I watched it when I was a kid and it made an impression.
I guess the set designers did their research.
