I haven't been bit by a mosquito in over 4 years and in Michigan and Ohio they were so big they could carry away a human. As far as snakes go, I haven't seen one either, although you do hear of a few on the golf courses near the ponds. A few people I know have seen a couple in their yards. I just don't go walking around in deep grass or stick my hands into a thick bush. Come on down!
I absolutely, completely, totally agree with you!!
