> In about 1970 I was driving through Colorado. At a place called "Rabbit Ears Pass," my engine blew. It was a couple of hours before a tow truck got there and we had to stay in the car with the windows rolled up to keep from being eaten alive. Down a bank below the road, we could see some beaver ponds which looked like perfect mosquito factories. You might want to drive up there* sometime about the last week of June. It's a beautiful area but keep the wondows closed.

I'm actually surprised there's no rainy season in that list. Maybe that's just a California thing, but we know when it's winter when it starts raining and gets either really cold or really hot by intervals. (Or at least, I do.) And the only thing we know about mosquitos is that West Nile has finally made it here. Oh, and hunting season? We got nothing of those...as far as I know. Scary thought.

Then again, maybe this is all speculation based on what I've seen in my tiny tiny bubble and there's actually a hunting area just a couple miles out of the city here. Who knows?
