    Reelfoot and Natchez Trace state parks in TN

    A Screamin' Eagle responds Been there, done that. My roomy ate the crickets I'd gathered for bait from the "range" we were at the day before. His last name was "Mc Coy" (for real) and he was from rural Tennessee. The area is worth the effort to go and visit. My last contact has divorced...

    Bugs ... Ticks .... and others.

    Jarring memories The talk of fogging for bugs reminded me of summer days in the 1960's and 70's in Worthington Minnesota. We'd hop on our bikes and follow the fogging truck as it went around Lake Okabena spraying a huge cloud of DDT up into the trees. It's a wonder any of us are alive...
