Ft. Myers looks beautiful

 

Serious question for those who have been there.

 

How is the bug situation?

 

Roaches, Mosquitos, Scorpions

 

How does the Gulf Coast of Florida compare to Brainerd bug wise?

For me none of those are an issue. No-see-ems, on the other hand, ugh. But wearing bug spray solves the problem. My parents building abuts a preserve, so evenings can get mosquito-y. But no worse than anywhere in MN.

But spring is a drier season. During humid rainy season you will see an uptick of skeeters. And, have to say, in all my time here I have never once seen a roach or Scorpion

I've never seen a Scorpion either. No matter where I've traveled

 

Unless Klaus Meine counts

The majority of scorpions live in arid climates so Florida isn't exactly their cup of tea.

Chief probably collects them nightly for dinner

Nice interview with Mr. Buxton. I see he's spent some time with Crash Davis working on his cliches and has them down pat.

[Craig Arko]

Liking this Melotakis kid.

Yeah, I'd be careful of the crunchy bits in the salad.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah

 

Either Scorpions or Cactus Needles. 

 

Or... Chief just put some random stuff in the salad to gauge the reaction of his guests.

He acquired a taste for them when he worked for the Pharaoh.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Just like Brainerd then.

I don't think he was referring to gators fans

[USAFChief]

No, they are responsible for getting themselves to dinner.

[nicksaviking]

Yeah

 

Either Scorpions or Cactus Needles.

Come on, he's old, not senile. The crunchy bits are clearly a fiber supplement.

[Squirrel]

Lol ... you guys crack me up.

What time today do the Twins announce their first Spring Training transfers to Minor League Camp?

Yeah, Seth just put out the article (found on the front page or in the Minor League forum).

[Riverbrian]

You mean to tell me that the Gophers were not selected for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney Field. 

 

Unbelievable!!! Who is on these selection committees?

Yeah, i thought they were a shoe-in following the Maryland upset. At least with Paul Bunyan's shoehorn.

 

Hopefully they will fare better on the path to the frozen four?

 

At least they got a bowl game.
