You forgot the fire ants.Nope - we got them now too - as of last year. Everyone is running around trying to control their spread, but nothing has worked yet. They're now in 3 different locations around Brisbane.
Ah - one of the best things about living in Queensland - they roll in on a summer's afternoon, getting bigger as they go, feeding off the humidity, until bang and the humidity is gone, the heat is moderated, the lawns are watered... One of the best reasons for having a big deck on the back of the house...

The "afternoon thunderstorms" in Alabama since the first of May long since finished watering the lawns, and moved on to watering the inside of people's cars and houses. And, frex, as of about 5am, yesterday afternoon's shower was still showering . . .
