What in tarnation are these things?

Anybody else seeing hundreds upon thousands of little blue and white, slow-moving, fuzzy bugs in the air at night lately? The entire 36th & Mason nation was swarmed by the harmless critters again last night, warranting me to get on here and ask for others’ feedback on the issue.

Interesting note: these bugs would not enter our garage, for whatever reason. It was as if an invisible barrier kept them out. Interesting thought: anyone jogging near 36th & Mason last night was guaranteed two lung-fulls of bugs.

Are they simply attracted to something near our house, or are they everywhere in Tacoma? Insect experts of Pierce County, we may need your assistance here. I’m no entomologist!
