rats were special ed?
I didn't say there were rats on one side of the river and not the other. I have no idea where the nearest rats lived.
I don't know if you remember the discussion a few months ago about the prevalence of slugs and snails on one of the rat lungworm threads? Some posted they could pick them up by the bucket load. I started posting when I saw one or more, and asked others to do so too, so we could get an idea from current observation and not memory. I don't think anyone said they found a bucket load in real time. I saw maybe two slugs/snails a week.
When I lived at 4000' altitude on Maui I never saw a mosquito around my house. They certainly lived lower down the mountain. They could fly. But they didn't fly up to my house.
PS. I didn't have any cockroaches on that mainland farm either. I know they had them 80 miles away in the city.
Is it too much to believe in a Shangri-la without rats and roaches?

The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?
