Skeeters in January?

“Yes, here on the OBX, the skeeters never died out because it never froze. Got eaten up while taking photos today.

A couple hundred swans settled into the ponds at the Pea Island wildlife refuge, and a school of dolphins swam along the breakers corralling fish this morning. First day here, the wind was blowing the tops off the breakers and we needed winter coats for the ferry trip to Ocracoke. Today it's in the upper 60s or low 70s.

It won't be easy to leave this place on Sunday.”

“A couple of years ago I was skiing in NW Wisconsin on a cold, sunny day in February and a mosquito landed on my hand. Very strange. I'm sure he didn't last through the night.”

“The skeeters and gnats were out here today. It wasn't too bad though.”

“Dolphins?
Ferry?
Breakers?

Oh. The OBX must be in FL(?).”

“we have wasps flying around in VA--that should not be this time of yr. Supposedly trees are budding in the Shenandoahs already. And I've been sick for what seems like forever. I hate this weird weather!”

“the liquid amber hasn't quite dropped all it's leaves and it just developed buds overnight! (as of yesterday morning). i've been in Cali since '68 and i'll just never get used to the oddities!”

“That's California: Oddities.”

“yeppers. on the other hand; that's what makes us fun! ;O)”

“We got stiks and flees.”

“Geobeet,you would love to see a dolphin school a set of redfish in 5ft water.

Down here it's a hole new ball game....been 100's miles... over flowed swamp, been hit 4 times water moccasin,and the big bad BANANA SPIDER,but most cannot deal with the heat like me in cold.”

“I'm guessing the Outer Banks (NC).

Hey Geo, is there a 'prise?”

“You are correct...outer banks of NC.

Geo..can't wait to see pics!”

“YES!

(and another entry for the acronym collection... sort-of, [G])


what did I win?”

“what would you like to win? and how do you pronounce your name?”

“I usually go by 'Tilt', but I've got a new anti-god device here and need to hunt down my old password. I've been AWOL for a while.

'tilt... Tilt... BLAM' is like the full-blown version, [G]”

“anti god device??? Hmmm...I recognice Tilt.”

“anti-god devices... like vacuum cleaners, pressure-cookers, etc... In this case a digital information processing device with the intel core 2 duo doodad inside, (ahem).”

“hmmmmm doodad LMAO”

“it's got Lotsa tiny little wires running through it....”

“interesting...btw...why do you call yourself Tilt”

“Well.... in actual fact... in 1995 I got a 4WD (ford exploder) and had the idea that "TILT" would make a interesting licence plate. The next year I was signing on to the BP magazine forum and that just popped into my head (for lack of imagination, or whatever). Anyway, others have said it seems to suit me... being somewhat off-kilter, donchaknow...

“That is so funnhy...I"m a bit off kilter myself! I"ve only been on one of those rides once...btw.

Where are you?”

“By the banks of the Savannah River... where the golf balls fly through the air in the Spring, LOL (our One claim to fame).”

“do you have an email addy”

“Yep... just got the email straightened out on this DEVICE, here. I need to put an email addr on this temporary identity...”

“I can't believe I"m still up! It is so late...!”

“jeez... it's SATURDAY already!”

“weekend will be over before you know it...at this rate!”

“I killed a mosquito last week, in Michigan, outside. WTF?!
My fish are still alive too (in my lilypond)to eat the larva.”

“Does PETA cover mosquitoes?”

“Don't think so! LOL”

“THe mosquitoes are getting bad right now. I'm not supposed to be swatting droves of these dang things in mid January!!!”

“There's a season in Florida?”
