The local news still uses it as a way to remind folks to deet up. I assume I've had it. If not, it's not for a lack of them trying. It seems every skitter in my area feeds on my ankles and face each dusk and dawn.

I don't even want to think about being in Florida. I get chewed up bad enough by mosquitos as it is, and I'm pretty sure you guys have them much worse.

At least where I was (in town, a mile from the beach) the mosquitoes weren't bad. My theory is that because it never gets cold enough to kill predators, they keep the population down compared to places like Colorado where there's only the winter check on the population.

The last week we have had crazy numbers of dragon flies.

I've dumped 6 inches of rain this week. Today was supposed to be a washout, but didn't really have hard rain until tonight. At 1745 it's a thunderstorm, 74F with 96% humidity. Forecast high/low of 83/70F with 80% chance of thunderstorms tonight. 10 day high/low of 92/70F with 9 possible days of rain.

I'm under a flash flood watch. We have had two months of rain, but if it were to stop today, it would be dry here by next week. This sand just doesn't hold water.

Can't "like" that. Hope the wind blows away from you.

It's not enough to smell, just makes the sky and horizon hazy.
The West is burning this summer. Again. Climate change tells me we might as well get used to it.
