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?

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 This post has been edited by pknowles: Jun 5 2007, 07:24 PM |

I've never seen mosquitoes so big in my life and it was early in the season! 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 |

Here in Houston it runs from January 1 to December 31. :-) So where was that event with the tarantulas? And Harlingen. Nice place to visit, but don't go there without a job. Kind of tough to find something unless you are employed by Retirement or to cut sugarcane. |
