That is one of the bennies of cold.... Fewer scary parasites, and ants, and roaches, and no snakes.

No worms or bugs in our Kale anymore, with the cold weather, cold at night here but still warming up into the 50s during the day

When I was in boot camp, Ft Leonard Wood Missouri it was so hot and humid! Got sunburned the second I got off the plane, it rained huge raindrops with no clouds in the sky!...

Weird though, don't ever remember seeing any flies, not a single housefly or ever a mosquito.
They had poisonous brown recluse spiders and rattle snakes everywhere though.....

we have flies and bugs year round... Oh they get slower but we have em... No biting flies though Just those stupid kind that fly in squares. over and over an over and over again.

I have seen rain come down but because it was so dry it fell short about a thousand feet up.

Probably why a lot of people retire to AZ and Las Vegas.... Done with winter and warm.

LOL. You are just describing Desert people. Those of us who embrace the desert stay in during the hottest part of the day. Smart people follow the Mexican tradition of the Siesta. Stay low and in the shade during the heat of the day. Drink cool drinks and lots of them. Work gets done in the mornings or evenings. Heavy work gets done in the fall or spring.

It gets hot hot here but very rarely does the humidity get above 20 percent. No matter what time of year. Thats why I have seen rain that doesnt hit the ground. It evaporates before it gets here.

perchie, I've seen the same in Arizona, but it was much closer to the ground, like at rooftop level

had a buddy had an adobe style house......we used to jump off the roof into the swimming pool, same thing.......we got sprinkles on the roof, that never made it to the ground, with much worse and heavier looking stuff above us in the sky.......

Beer has calories, it will keep you alive for awhile, bread in a can, I've tested the theory, pre wife and kids days Lol!
Germany, I read yrs ago, was thinking of putting a tax on beer, their President or whatever said "NO, to the German people beer is food, double the tax on liquor!"
Ever read 'reviews' on beer can chicken? They say it doesn't work, inside not cooked, beer never steams...They are full of crap. My favorite way to do it is get the biggest darn chicken you can find, I got a 24oz 'Big Blue' short fat can up the butt of a huge one once. 12oz can WARM, not cold, take one good swallow out of it, poke extra holes around the top on the side, add spices to beer (don't know if it helps but I do it). Place beer canned chicken on the grill (dry rub the chicken with spices) on a baking pan, one you would bake a cake in, loaded with taters and carrots and onions, little water also just to keep it from burning before the chicken juices start running. Chicken juices flavor the vegies, chicken turns out just as good as any store bought rotisserie chicken, falling off the bone goodness, and taters an carrots are roasted awesomeness! And the beer is HOT and steamy!

My dad always says he likes it 90 degrees in the shade, we only get two months of summer and he works outside every day in the stone quarry...I used to...

I'm with you. Those people are full of crap.....or very bad cooks. I've made beer can chicken for years and never had it turn out bad or undercooked. That's what meat thermometers are for. I've also used coca cola, orange pop, and root beer. I cook mine the same way you described except I've never put spices in the beer. I put a dry rub on the skin. Have you ever used an ale? Like Red's Apple Ale? Or a pear ale? That sounds so good, I might have to try that this weekend
