It's that time of year again... 18 Years, 2 Months ago  
Tick Warning

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally... but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your email list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the Spring weather and asks you to take your clothes off and spin around with your arms up..... DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid

Geez Charlie, I didn't think you'd actually take me up on it......BTW, I think I am emotionally scarred from seeing that!

Jeez, I always thought you were on those Hartz drops? Maybe you should switch up to the collar.

Somehow I'm thinking Dawn doesn't find this as funny as you do.

Actually, I find it hilarious (is that admitting to a sick sense of humor? ).

Having worked as a field biologist and having had to deal with ticks in mixed company...well, anyway... ...some stories are better left to actual campfire telling. Let's just say I have had to ask for tick help and given tick help, so I found the joke very funny.

Tell you what--you come to the Bash and hang with Ukiah Charlie (and you will see then what he is really like), and I will promise not to tell my tick stories .

Good on ya. If I drove back to cal to fish it would be for the McC or the Pit. Sorry. Mighty Met stands in the way, let alone the D an hour away.

I recently heard that a tick has to be in ya for 24 hours to get lime. true? I immediately thought of you.

They were thick up here in Oregun a couple weeks ago but have slowed down.

Don't worry Charlie, I would NEVER ask you to take your clothes off for me and spin around! Hmmmm.....but maybe with a tutu on! Dang, that leaves a terrible image in my head.
