I'm sure I could have had some kind of snappy rejoinder to that post about the tick on the country road, Marge-hehehe!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, I hardly ever see any ticks here. So if you're seeing alot, there must be some kinda anomaly in the tick population this year.<BR/><BR/>If I was a Farmer's Almanac type, I'm sure I could tell you that this means a dry, wet, hot or cold summer, but I just don't know which...<BR/><BR/>Funny story, though. My wife used to have a large mole on the front of her shoulder. She has since had it removed. We were vacationing in Virginia a few years ago and swimming in a park swimming pool (Breaks Interstate Park- a place the natural beauty of which is breathtaking-and a young boy looked at her and tugged on his momma's shirt and said, "Mommy, look at the size of that tick"! It wasn't long after that the appointment was made to remove the mole...Beermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220164574786223737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12208632.post-1117419966711854332005-05-29T19:26:00.000-07:002005-05-29T19:26:00.000-07:00That is, 'no' alerts. nite allThat is, 'no' alerts. nite allMargeinMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496632828676241632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12208632.post-1117419945845693672005-05-29T19:25:00.000-07:002005-05-29T19:25:00.000-07:00Went to the Michigan DNR site.

Heh.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, with the Web gaining credibility each day, Hitlery's past disgressions won't be swept under the carpet. But who knows? The Swifties were maybe too late coming out with their message; maybe things would be different even today with the 'downfall' of the lsm (can't even capitalize anymore it's so sad).<BR/><BR/>Seriously about the ticks though. I used to work 'in the field' literally. Crossing ditchlines, walking through all kinds of brush, etc. (Just for y'all's amusement: I was driving down a country road one day, and felt an itch. I looked down my shirt and saw a tick in my cleavage! YOWZZAAAAAAAAA! Luckily, there was no oncoming traffic!) I've NEVER seen ticks like this before! I'm going to the Michigan DNR site to see if there's any alerts out.<BR/><BR/>Keep on bloggin' buddy!MargeinMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496632828676241632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12208632.post-1117188963708703142005-05-27T03:16:00.000-07:002005-05-27T03:16:00.000-07:00Wow, we went from politicians that suck to blood s...Wow, we went from politicians that suck to blood sucking insects. Maybe that's not such a great leap?<BR/><BR/>I do think Dean and the far left of the party will shove the rest of the party right. You're already seeing signs of Hillary looking to exploit that right-shift, when you hear her talk about praying over things and being supportive of the war/troops.<BR/><BR/>I will keep Hillary's true nature in mind this year and next, just as I will take your advice and watch out for the ticks! I almost never see 'em around here. When I lived in Virginia, my mom used to check us head to toe every night before bed.Beermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220164574786223737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12208632.post-1117114562585419692005-05-26T06:36:00.000-07:002005-05-26T06:36:00.000-07:00Good thoughts here.

The Lefties are SO 'out there' it's hard to imagine the bulk of the Dem party jumping off the cliff with them. However, with Dean as party chairman, will more moderate voices be heard? Probably not, especially when the Hitlery Band Wagon starts up. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Also, off topic but you're in the neighborhood: I've noticed a proliferation of ticks already this year! I've NEVER had to pick one off my dog in seven years. So far this year, one out of the dog's ear, one out of the boy's neck, and one off of my arm.
