A few weeks ago I heard that there are no bugs in Colorado.  For several days I asked whomever I was talking to  – polling them really – to be sure before I “whooped” in excitement.

It’s been my favorite topic of conversation lately.

It’s true.

You can leave the doors open with no screens.
You don’t have to spray down your children with insect repellent when they go outside.

No flies.  No mosquitoes.  Yellow jackets can be a bother, but they are managed nicely by those yellow jacket traps.

I’ve been watching and have yet to see any.

Last night we were sitting outside way past dusk.  The kids ran and played.  No bugs.  I flipped on the outside light.  No bugs.

I’ll tell you – I should start working for Colorado’s public relations department.  I love this state.
