We're halfway there Wednesday Chat

Sarah, I think your scenario is a good one.  I've got a habit of tucking my glasses on the neckline of my shirt when I go into stores and restaurants and yes, restrooms.  I've never had a pair fall in the toilet, but they've fallen on the floor of a stall more than once (and I nearly panic every single time ---- then I clean them frantically)!

I'm not sure what the biological or scientific reason is for the lack of mosquitoes here.  Yeah, we have tons of rain (ghat, and other varieties!), but when it rains, it's cold (below 60 degrees in spring).  When it's warm (summer), we have almost zero rain, so maybe we don't have the proper combination of dampness and warmth that mosquito breeding requires?  That being said, my friend had a ton in her yard one year, and it turned out they were coming from standing water trapped in her gutters.  So, unless you have standing water around, you won't likely see them.  Also, I know people that go camping in other areas see mosquitoes, so they live in Oregon ---- just not many in the area we are, I guess.

At any rate, feel free to come enjoy a bug-free evening on our patio anytime, Sarah --- with or without a beverage (but please bring the pups)!

Tracy, I'm heading out there if there are no mosquitoes! We have tons here this summer. It is actually comfortable right now--the heat broke briefly late this afternoon--the wind moved around so it's off the water--much better! It's hot again tomorrow, and then pretty decent for several days. I'm heading up to the Adirondacks and it's supposed to be in the 40's at night--I had to find a fleece to pack!

Jenn--how is the new car?

Hey griffinej5 . I believe that if you press the 'Use rich formatting' button and wait a couple of seconds for it to load, you will get your paragraphs back. I am also an iPhone user and iPad user and it works for me on both!
