GREAT!! Now I can enjoy winter a little longer! They are too short around here usually, and the spring and summer are usually too brutal heat wise so I am looking forward to this!

Ha, Louisiana, I bet!

I got to enjoy Polk for 4 weeks last July; let me just say, you can keep it!

That's what most guys who go there say. However, the base has a some renovations since last year that have been taking place. So it should be nicer. However, we still have problems with mosquitoes. I bet they loved you and are awaiting your return!

The mosquitoes were very surprisingly not bad at all! We had a couple guys get bit by spiders and were evac'ed,

I took my boots off one morning to change my socks, and managed to put a bare foot on the ground for about 2 seconds. Apparently that was enough for half a colony to jump on me and start stinging! I brought home the wounds and my daughters were very interested to check out Daddy's bites.

I think the scars have just now faded. Yeah, you can keep them!

Actual radio traffic-

1: Scorpion Tango, this is Badger X-Ray, we had one pax with spider-bite, needing evac. Over.
2: Badger X-Ray, this is Scorpion Tango, roger. Coordinating evac time now, stand by. Over.
Us: Scorpion Tango, this is Hammer 3-6, what is current location of spider? Is it taking appointments?

Wow!
Never believed in Phil until now!

But after 81 years, this GH Day sure called it!
So far anyway!

Turned bad the very next day and getting worse as the days go along!

Enough!
Enough, call it off!
Please!

Your Rat ain't welcome out in in Arizona, he'd be an easy target. 70 degrees here today ;D
I'd be out shooting again but I burned up too much ammo on Saturday and Sunday, Gotta get back to Walmart to stock back up.
