We got killer bees, anthrax in everything from the vegetable gardens to the deer, tornadoes, floods and gigantic wildfires that burn down entire counties.

You forgot fire ants.

Those things are nasty. My wife and I were vacationing in Galveston, and we played golf one day. I didn’t know about fire ants, and as I often do, I hit my ball off the fairway and into some bush. I had to push into the bush to hit the ball, so I did, backing up against a mound of dirt.

Well, that mound of dirt was of course a fire ant hill. Needless to say, I did not hit my ball. I did spray a good deal of bug repellant on my legs. And nursed quite a few bites. Ouch.
