Seems like you get that an awful lot.
Ya know...today at work we were discussing all the bad stuff we miss out on by living in such a frigid area...poisonous insects and snakes, cockroaches, tornados, hurricanes...
Here, we only have to deal with swarming mosquitos and blackflies, and the cold. Some days, I consider myself AWFULLY lucky, I tell ya what...
We hardly ever get precipitation. When we do... it's usually mostly hail. *sigh*
They just said we didn't even have measureable rainfall with that storm that was here a little bit ago. Big honkin' hail... but no measureable rain.
There's a good trade-off to be had...
We have basically NO dangerous critters. No cockroaches, no biting bugs (especially on the beach... nothing *bites*), no gators, no poisonous snakes, no gila monsters... nothing really all that dangerous at all.
Sure... there's the occasional bear or cougar... but they don't bother me and I don't bother them. We have an agreement that way.
