I guess our cold, snow and freezing weather doesn't sound so bad now.
Good luck. I still remember the Texas Agriculture Secretary putting his
arm in a Fire Ant hive to show that they really aren't such a problem.
He quickly withdrew his arm wiping ants off and wincing in pain. I
still don't remember if he went to the hospital.

Looks like TD16 will become a Cat 1 huricane before it makes landfall
on the Florida Panhandle then heads towards the Chesapeake. This is
getting annoying.
Touche's slip in Mandeville, LA is a fixed pier. It has been
submerged for a couple days now from that system that was around
northeastern Florida last week. Strong easterly winds for days pushes
water into Lake Pontchartrain through The Rigolets. My dock box
probably has several inches of water in it. I keep everything in tubs
so unless the water gets 2 feet or so over the dock, everything is
OK. Pain in the butt to go pull everything out, mop it out and let it
dry. I usually set up a folding chair and drink a beer or two.
The other issue is the mud on the dock. If one of the boat owners
doesn't get down there while the mud is still wet and hose it off,
it's a pain in the butt to wash the dock boards after the mud dries.
Anyway, Touche' is still in Pensacola on a floating pier. If I go over
to do storm prep (remove sails and canvas), I may have to stop by
Mandeville and wade through the marina to get storm dock lines out of
my dock box. Always fun with the snakes, fire ants and gators. :(
