That’s what I told a young tourist one time, reminding him of fire ants, rattlesnakes and scorpions. This brought it to mind: four city boys thoughtlessly going to sea in a pea pod without checking the weather forecast.

UPDATE: Well, at least one of them survived, anyhow. Thanks to the Coast Guard and Air Force Reserve.

    Fire ants, rattlesnakes and scorpions – that’s all you can throw at a tourist?
    Now consider the Aussies in this department…

    I wasn’t trying to scare him away. We’re going to need our tourists and their spending, now that we have an idiot for a president.
