Honey Did you See That? 
Was at Lake Perris a few months ago. I had not been there since the mid-80s. It seemed so much smaller. It is true Virginia, no discounts.

OK, so not knowing where Lake Perris was I googled it on Bing. Well anyway I then realised your lives could be in danger from something called Goldspotted Oak Borer, so I googled that on Yahoo. Bloody relief that was too. At least you won’t get crabs just eaten by beetles.
Phew. Now y’all go enjoy yourselves.

Dearest CreekEnd, Thanks you for alerting us to the dangers of the Goldspotted Oak Borer. We will add it to the tarantualas, snakes, scorpions, etc. etc. BTW, still have not seen any of the above. Sigh. No excitement.
