Just a bit of humor that I forgot to share.

Most of you know that I live in deep south Texas... I was setting up the event late Friday afternoon... and these things were *everywhere*.

Normally, corner workers stand in the grass... not this time!

What stories of danger do you have? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I usually visit Texas once every year or two. This past year in mid to late March, I was in Harlingen, TX for 5 days. You guys can keep your rattle snakes, spiders, and mosquitoes. Had a great time fishing, but I've never seen mosquitoes so big in my life and it was early in the season! Granted you guys did have a lot of rain early this year, but my Uncle had to spray the yard with poison every day to keep the mosquitoes down. When I was a kid I would go to my great aunts house and see spiders that size in her front yard. I'll take snow and cold weather any day over poisonous spiders.

Edit: "misketoe" doesn't equal mosquito

there's a mosquito season? must be long... seems like it has been going strong for.. umm.. all my life now...


mosquito bites swell up for about 8 hours... i think that's a small price to pay for doing my part in the food chain
