You ever heard a peacock scream? Not nice.

Why will getting a few Italian-Americans help with your tick problem ?

Good idea! I'll call my buddy Sal from the old neighborhood. I'll tell him I'm having a problem and ask if he can come over and exterminate a parasite for me...

I get hit twice by a lot of storms..once in FL...then it can make its up to the Cape...no real damage yet that has cost me anything...
I've been scared once on the Cape in a storm...and we have many all year round a lot of the time...and they can last for days...but this one was something I've never seen before...the wind sounded like a train was going up the street...it lasted only about 40 seconds...the next town to us had tons of damage....

On Friday me hubby and baby were out walking when the storm came up...we got hit by a dust devil...hubbys eyes got hit bad..baby had his hat on and I'd seen it coming so hubby was hold baby's face to his chest..it really hurt...poor baby was crying.....it really scared him...

Sounds more like a tornado passed nearby.

If you choose to play the game you gotta be willing to pay the piper. Every place has it's potential killers...tornados, hurricanes, earthuakes, cold, heat...

Just pick another hazard that is worth the risk. For example- North Dakota has few h'canes... they do get a bit of snow now ant then
