& it's bloody hot 
I DJ'd a friends wedding at the 'Furnace Creek Inn' Death Valley...
It's the place that the Eagles wrote "Hotel California" about (but not the one on the album cover)...
The area also has the lowest Golf Course (& greenest in a desert enviroment).
Death Valley is also one of the best places to star gaze & is very well populated with 'Road Runners'. |

I've heard 8 spiders but it wouldn't surprise me. When they are saying bugs though they are usually meaning the tiny ones we don't notice to often and not mamba jamba spiders. Not that it is really any comfort is it?  |

No  A fly once flew into my mouth but I didn't swallow it. I screamed and about cried and wanted someone to get a gun and shoot me to put me out of my misery. I knew he'd probably been on a piece of shite before my mouth and I know how the dirty yoke started life  |

I won't touch a thing if a fly has landed on it, so you can imagine how I was when it happened. I'm ultra squeamish about bugs or anything nasty.
Everyone there was laughing so hard at me and one person I was with saw it fly in and she was literally rolling on the ground laughing holding her stomach  |

cheeky
That's been pointed out to be before by a few people, and also that I end a sentence with the words 'so or like'. I think it's a Northern Irish/Irish slang thing we tend to use a good bit.....well the ones that don't quite know how to speak proper! |

Doubt he would even try to catch you. They're very timid. Every time we go out back and they're there we have to hold very still or they will dart away. However, if one should get pissy with ya, he wouldn't be able to do much. My money's on the coyote every time! |
