Well, as many of you know, we got somewhere upwards of 30 inches of rain from Jimena over here. And, as certain as a collection plate in church, the
bobitos made an appearance.
The word over here is that they really dont die off until we get overnight lows below 50 degrees. We have been coming close slightly inland (50.6, two
night ago). They have been brought to their knees but now the only ones left are the hearty, late bloomers. And while they used to be an irritant most
all day, they are only around at daybreak and sunset. Even in the height of their season, they mysteriously disappear completely in the dark. Maybe
their night vision is as bad as mine and they operate under VFR .
So, what's it like over there on the Baja in a similar subtropic zone? Are your bobitos gone? Still hanging? Maybe rate their abundance on some scale
of how often you have to swing your arms in a minute.
Or, maybe how often you have to: 1-fish one out of your beer, 2-take one out of your eye, 3-snort one out of your nose, or 4- spit one out of your
mouth or 5-expel from any and all orifices. A CATEGORY 5 BOBITO INFESTATION IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO OCCUR ONCE EVERY 50 YEARS, SO TAKE HEART IF YOU
EXPERIENCED ONE THIS YEAR.
Please include the amount of rainfall you believe you received during Jimena. This is, afterall, a very scientific study.
OH, yeah, I think we are below a CAT ONE incident at this point.
