Re: No bugs, few snakes, tiny winter
This message is from: Lori Puster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Now Gail, I did live a bit north of y'all, but in my seven years in NM, I saw more than a few snows (melted by noon), quite a few snakes (bullsnakes mostly), centipeds 8" long, mosquitos all summer, and cucarachas everytime I flicked on the lights. Besides the best thing about the place is how few people are there to muck it up, so stop encouraging folks. ;) Lori P. currently in overcast Oregon, but the brand new owner of 75 acres of rolling hills just outside of Redding CA.

You want to know what drove me out of that state, second only to the school system for special needs children being abysmal? CENTIPEDES. Big, honking, nearly a foot long, fast on their feet and mean and ugly. Nearly impossible to kill. . We lived in what has to be the nicest house I've lived in my whole life. I called it Centipede Palace. It was beautiful, with the great room, huge bathrooms, the sunroom, walk in pantry, not to mention the barn and arena and pastures. But funny. Those centipedes seemed to think I invited them to live there too. They'd crawl in through the vents and make me nuts. We hired exterminators to put little traps in the vents. Every month they'd clean out the vents and always find 5 or 6 of the nasties. And still, once in a while one would while it's way around the traps, into the house. Nope. OREGON is the place to be, as far as lack of winter, no poisonous snakes and no bugs to speak of. Very enjoyable. Oh, except for the big nasty horseflies, but even those can be taken care of by proper horse spray. Pamela
