See below - Brooksville.  Back when I was growing up in KY you would see
a couple skunks a week. We would also pull 30 to 40 ticks a week off the
dog.  Down here I have not seen any skunks and very few ticks.  There
are a few here I am sure, but not in the numbers.

But you yankees should remember that we have flying roaches, fire ants,
gators, etc., and to stay away.
