While SD County is classified as desert, it is NOT the "barren" desert you keep trying to paint it. I have spent a lot of time at Camp Pendleton and at the Marine Corps base at 29 Palms. 29 Palms is the kind of desert YOU are describing. It STILL has flies. SD County has a lot of rainfall, especially at that time of year... and is quite lush and green. During the summer it gets brown in a lot of places, as does much of California as a whole. You are reaching far too much, methinks. And you are wrong. Learn some basic geography before you start making statements such as these.

BTW, the bug guy's logic is NOT circular; however your constant harping does bring to mind some round things... I am just not sure what.

You are right,I always thought that San Diego County was semi-arrid desert, not barren desert. There is a big difference.

Some people think differently than other people. Whereas some of us speak in generalities, others speak in specifics - to put it simply.

One of my daughters used to drive me nuts with questions along the same vein that he's on. She became a doctor; he became an accountant.

Subtle, very subtle. And I laughed!
