I hope you have lots of bugs in your house this summer. Also: crabgrass.

Smiley: lol

I live in a townhouse so all my grass is taken care of by the gardeners here. As for bugs, we might get a few here and there, but they dont compare to them New England mosquitos. The ones we have down here should be ashamed to call themselves mosquitos. They are 1/3 the size and don't come in droves.


Must be tough, up there. I think I can remember how it was. Smiley: sly

I'm sending you cockroaches with my mind and hoping your sunscreen fails horribly!

That's ok, I'll go home and have a nice glass of wine for you tonight DSD.

Smiley: lol You have that wine tonight and think of me. I'll think of you as I enjoy the upcoming warmer weather trend, which lasts a bit longer than a glass of wine.

We were supposed to get some bad rainstorms through San Diego, but the rainstorms didn't hit San Diego dead on so we're supposed to clear up, beginning today and it should be in the mid 70s by the end of this week.

Between Weather.com, AccuWeather & the NOAA National Weather Service, depending on which you believe, we're supposed to get anywhere from zero to twelve inches of snow Friday night Smiley: dubious

Too bad for you guys seeing as how it sounds like San Diego is going to be instituting water rationing this year. I'll be thinking about you when I'm chillin' in my swimming pool and splashing water all over my green lawn for about $35 a year Smiley: smile

Today's snow is tomorrow's drinking water! (Literally... I'm on a well)

Meh, water rationing. If it's anything like the "brown outs" a few years ago, it won't be that much of a hassle. We practice a lot of water conservation to begin with at home, to begin with. If it's going to be monetary penalties for going over your limit, I doubt my family would be hit on that with how we use our water.
