Mosquito's as big as Taradactyls are coming soon to YOUR backyard!
So, we've reached the half way point of summer and it's been the most severe drought since the one way back in 1988. For right now, that means we're off the hook from getting all chewed up by the nasty mosquito's. That also means there hasn't been much mention of the "West Nile Virus" on the news. Even if there was, the doggone newscasters for some reason are told not to tell US! Everything is always fuzzier than a mosquito's testicles when it comes to the truth. Ever notice how when someone catches this thing the location is always kept a BIG secret? All we ever hear is that someone got bit in lower Wisconsin or Northern Indiana. Wouldn't you like to know if someone got bit on your block? OK, that leftover rain from Hurricane Dennis wet the sidewalks a little bit, but not enough to lure these guys out of wherever they live. In the meantime, people are still spraying backyards and gardens and spraying themselves with all the goofy OFF and CUTTER products that contain DEET...how long before they find that stuff causes cancer? The mosquito's don't care if you take a bath in paint thinner before you walk outside. In fact, they wish you would, because they have no need for you this year. They're building up their immune system to everything you spray near their homes! Next year they will be the size of cantaloupes. An interesting fact: The female is the only one that bites and sucks the life right out of you...that makes perfect sense to me and explains a lot, and THAT'S the way I see it for today!
