Thanks for the link, Joe. I'll give it a try. I have been working under the assumption that with winter, the mosquito problem will go away. Not so. Our local news had an interesting segment regarding wintering mosquiots, it appears that they live till Spring, just seldom seems, or heard during cold weather. They'll find a dry spot, out of the wind and weather and hibernate. Now that's scary. I live in a mobile home, or modular structure, and it is open underneath. Perfect spot for mosquitos to set up house till the warm weather returns.
Note. Colorado number of cases has exceeded 1,000 and the death toll now is over 16, and counting. The lastest death was right here in my hometown -- Brighton. And I must correct a mistake I made, it is called West Nile Virus, not disease. I'm sure Colorado has made the major newspapers by now (Colorado - the West Nile Virus State) and hunters will either stay away this hunting season, or try to buy DEET here. Fat chance of that, it disappears from the shelves as fast as it's put out. My advice, bring your own, and lots of it. We don't have smog any more, we have DEET clouds, especially morning and evening.
And yes, when I go out I carry a couple of cans of industrial-strength OFF! with me. I even keep a can in my truck, just in case I run across a likely spot to drop a line. Gimme that 85% DEET anytime. I may be mentally dysfunctional but I'm not stupid. DEET, the perfect Christmas present for the sportsman.
One thing I found out and found very distrubing, The Clinton Administration commissioned the Social Security Administration to put a dollar amount of a human life (yes, that is true) and the outcome -- the older you are, the less you're worth. Now my question would be, just what was that study for? I know I'm worth more that $93,000 at age 60.
