Oh, Pleeaasse, there are certain areas of Minnesota and Iowa that have lots of Mosquitos, personally where I am it isn't too bad and we have woods right behind us.
By rivers and right on lakes of course it is worse, but the pluses of living here totally outweight the bugs!! Especially when I get to listen to our real state bird the loon!
There are tons of differences between Iowa and Minnesota, I hope you know.

Can't tell I like Minnesota better, can you?
And gee, Brenda, should I shut up about Minnesota? Too bad, not gonna happen...<g>

I just want to get away from Virginia summers. I loathe humidity
and I get uncomfortable when the temp rises above about 75F. And
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed snow.
Getting away from the traffic hell here and the Stepford mentality
would be a secondary benefit.
DH announced we need to spend another two years in the States
before I can go home. It seems such a long time :-(

Malaria doesn't bother me. We had two confirmed cases in
Virginia here in Loudoun county a month a go. The county sprayed
and has found numbers of malaria carrying mozzies as have the
surrounding counties.
Minn is sounding good to me. I bin looking at web sitesand its so
pretty up there. DH could tele-work from VA and fly here once a
month or so.
Now I'd like a 6 bed house with 20 acres :-)

Do you get homesick Brenda? How long you been in Germany?
How much longer to go?

Kelli Traaseth

Yeah, I knew you were out of this country but I couldn't remember where, I think sometimes I'd rather be where you are! I'm sure that has been discussed before.

Take Care,

Germany. Gosh, I thought by now everybody knew that and was TOTALLY sick of
hearing me complain about it....... We're here with the army, and I wanna
go home. I'm moving this week, but only 30 km down the road.

I know the state bird is the loon, really. I honeymooned in Minnesota, in
the Boundry Waters Canoe Area. I really like it there. But I do also
distinctly remember your mosquitos are a whoooooole lot bigger than the ones
I grew up with in Iowa!

But I supposed it's possible Shyrley might be willing to put up with them
for some of the other good stuff Minnesota has...maybe....if she gets her
vaccinations for malaria and all that! hee hee hee

Didn't the news get as far as Minnesota? We had the county
spraying the area claiming the spray was harmless but to stay in
doors anyway. They really got their knickers in a twist. They'll e
spraying again this week and Fairfax county are filling all the ponds
with larvacide.
This year Virginia, next year everywhere I imagine. Same as West
Nile which we've got here in spades too.

If you want snow and cold, you might get a week or two of them there . . .
most years.
