Not many here either. This is the time of year where you can visit
the Everglades without being swarmed and carried off.

Minus 12 C this morning. Sidewalks treacherous to walk on. Luckily I have a pair of Icer cleat type sandles that strap onto my boots.

We had a nice day yesterday...temps in the high 50's and low 60's. Much
cooler today.

Since I cleaned out the jungle behind the house we are pretty bug free
too all year. I am out there at night with Deuce all summer. I spray
Bifen around the house and that keeps the crawly ones out.
You know those roaches the size of your thumb that scare the **** out
of the yankees. As bugs go they really are not bad. Unlike those
northern German and Asian roaches, these guys don't really live in
your house. They come and go. If you spray a perimeter about 10' wide
you never see one.

The locals called 'em 'palmetto bugs' when I lived down there. I suppose they thought that sounded
better than 'giant roaches', which is what they are!



The big difference is they are natives and not the nasty imports that
get in your food, live in your furniture and eat the bindings out of
your books. I lived with "apartment house" roaches for a good part of
my early life in DC and these are nothing like them.

BTW "palmetto bug" is just something we say so as not to scare off the
tourists.
This is a "Palmetto Squirrel"

My daughter discovered those things when she moved to Savannah, GA.
