    Here on Sanibel, FL, the mosquitoes are a real problem. Flies, not so much.

    I just spent about 20 minutes, cutting down some weeds outside my sister's house. I now know what it is like to be a human "smorgasbord". In that short period of time, I think the mosquitoes bit me about 20 times.

    I'm in the process of having a small apartment built onto my sis's place. It should be done in about two weeks. THEN I hope to get my sim setup again, and be back in business! The move here from TN was not difficult; and I am SO happy to be living here! It will be nice to have my apartment finished so I can move my things into it, and call it HOME.

    All is well. See you in the virtual skies soon!

    Must have been someone from "Winterpeg" down there in Florida and they had a hitchiker... I have seen those Manitoba bugs and they can get purddy big, I have been told it only takes a couple to carry off a small steer...
