What's up with all the bugs, anyway?

Hit the road today, headed for Vaxjo and the Kingdom of Glass. The road is stunning, and Sweden in the summer is even greener than Seattle. But it's also buggier. I mean WAY buggier. There's a crust of dead bugs half an inch think on our headlights and windshield. If we're ever in a car crash out here, the forensic team will be able to determine how long we've been driving by measuring the bug depth. Ewww... I'll spare you the picture and instead share the joy of the open road.
