Ticks . . . they're back

[kid a]

3 days in a row I've returned home from my jog on the trail and found just as many ticks
Creepy little critters!

1. This winter was weak, and...

We had ticks throughout the whole winter, quite a few...but damn, we had 80 degree temps in feb and quite a few days in the 70's in january...currently i'm living in SW Missouri, and from what my wife tells me, the winter usually snuffs quite a few out...i'm from alaska, SE...and i never saw/thought of ticks until i moved to the midwest...what a treat that was. First tick i found on me was three years ago, a deer tick, on my stomach, i was scratching my gut, and i was like, hmm, what is this little nub thingy, and i look down and i have the spawn of lucifer attatched to my gut...needless to say, ticks suck.
