  • It's officially summertime in the South. I don't care what the calendar says. Get your frying pan ready, make friends with your Air Conditioner, and find your nearest 24-hour gas station (for reasons I will explain in this video).

    I work for FDEP (Florida Department of Environmental Protection), back when the state was first being surveyed they pulled chains with mules to survey land. After losing a mule to BLOOD LOSS from the horse flies, biting flies, and mosquitos they decided surveying was not to be done in the summer months. In one instance a man counted 40 alligators in the square he was supposed to be surveying so he stopped counting and said they could have that square. No joke!

    I live in Texas but spent 3 years in Georgia with no A.C. and in comparison, its paradise over here. It only gets into the triple digits 6 months of the year instead of 9. Our mosquitos are bigger, but I think they are lazier we still have "water bugs " big enough to put a saddle on but that's a good thing since the horses refuse to leave the shade of the lonely little mesquite tree, they are hiding under. All in all summer is better in Texas than Georgia or Alabama. It's all relative and if you live up north you can't possibly understand, but bless your heart anyway.

I had to cool myself in front of the AC unit at the hotel just so my clothes didn't rip when I took them off to shower. 😂

      @@dawnreneegmail I do remember. My dad bought one and put it in their bedroom. He closed off the stairs with a curtain and closed doors to the kitchen so to cool the living room as well as their bedroom. My brother and I slept on cots in the living room. Though it was like camping it was heavenly to fall asleep much easier and it was more quiet with windows closed. Back then we also would have left front and back doors open using only the screen doors with simple latches. My first car with AC I didn't get until 1980... and I still had B&W TV at that time. Certainly not the good old days since I arose at 4:30 AM so to percolate my coffee on the gas stove before heading out to work. My 1980 car with AC was a standard transmission stick shift. 😂

Sure, they go for the face, but you could shoo them away with a couple of Van Damme chops in the air. You guys down south have coordinated squadrons that work in an attack pattern that is as complex as it is relentless. These squadrons are led by Kamikaze gnats that inspire the rest of the gnats by flying into your ears, your eyes, or your nose.
