The mid-west really hot hit. I lived in the prairies for a while. Bitterly cold in the winter, bugs in the summer.
Somewhat chilly in the "winter", bugs year-round, occasional 'gator down here.
I couldn’t stand gators chasing the pets, lizards in the house, ...
In our first place there were fast cockroaches that we could never catch. Rats that were so big that they ran up and down the stairs. The super would hammer them with a shovel smearing blood on the walls. Our windows looked out onto a lane. The alley cats would suddenly start sceaming and get into nasty fights during the middle of the night.
We were young and just happy to have a place to call home.
Nah, lizards are great. They eat the cockroaches. For fun you can leave little bits of food out for the roaches only you add baking soda. Roaches can't burp. They explode.

That’s good to know.
It seems that tax dollars are being well spent researching cockroach gas passing:

Is this in rivers and lakes or the ocean?
Catching fish presents an opportunity to eat southern soul food. Not to be confused with Seoul food, which can also be seafood.
I used to pass by a restaraunt called Maison Ho. I suppose they wanted a name that appeared upscale and that Ho House wouldn’t be as attractive.
Does it sound like firecrackers?Nah, lizards are great. They eat the cockroaches. For fun you can leave little bits of food out for the roaches only you add baking soda. Roaches can't burp. They explode.
My fishing has mostly been lakes.
I've never heard one. I guess the sound is internal but it tears them up.
If we could have tape of one exploding, it would be...a roach clip?
Sorry, I'll leave now.

I highly recommend "To Dance With The White Dog" starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Yes, @SoulReflection we did snuggle and the movie was heartwarming. About a couple who had been together 60 years.
The tribes in the Seattle area are the Salish, Puyallup, and from my neck of the woods, Haida from British Columbia. There are more but more inland. The artwork from coastal tribes is all very similar--based on the Haida/Tsimpshean tribal art standards. The further north in Alaska you get the artwork changes to a more sharply defined style by the tribe called Tlingit. I see your logo as Haida based, and it is probably a pink king or chum salt water salmon. The Natives of the Northwest and Alaska did their fishing near the mouths of rivers before the salmon touched fresh water, where they would start to disintegrate.
Thanks @SoulReflection for sharing the logo!
Please take it easy and be careful Mr. @BadExample .

Thanks, Will...I will check out that movie if not for anything else but the snuggle factor
.Also, thanks for the background on native art. This is certainly Haida based and done by Bill Reid. He is one of my favorites, sadly, I must add, RIP. The fishing forum I belong to offered them in 2014 and I couldn't wait to get mine. They had to discontinue it's use due to copyright but I have two on my boat and one which will be framed.
Thank you very much for the info about the tribes! Am going to order To Dance With The White Dog DVD in a bit! Any body ever read Watch for me on the mountain by Forest Carter? It is the Apache oral history of Geronimo. Awesome book, but it will rip your hart out! Peace..I highly recommend "To Dance With The White Dog" starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.

Pics or it didn't happen
Sorry Will, not my idea, them's the rules here...
They say you can dress me up, but I'll just take my clothes back off.
I'll see if I can get the boss Mrs. to help me re-create...Pics or it didn't happen

Glad you're enjoying your new car! Woot Woot!
@Al Kraft mentioned how the lack of IN lic plate on the front doesn't spoil the clean look. I'm about to pull the trigger on:I'll see if I can get the boss Mrs. to help me re-create...

What would
IMO Badass trumps clean
Very surprised to find the so called bumper behind the plastic is only frame width, very thin metal. Made of peanut butter. My CJ-3B had thicker metal on the body. My J-10 had a sub-frame under the cab that was tack welded to the floor boards uni-body style that is thicker than the frame on these things. This is all in the name of collapsible body safety. I'm all for that so long as it's someone else's body collapsing! Working to rectify the situation, front and rear. Looks like I'm on my own for the rear end though.
