After Rita, I had a lot of trees down on my place and hired one of the out of town crews that flooded the area to clean up. This crew was from Oregon and as they were finishing up I got home from work and walked out to meet the crew leader to see how it was going. He was a big guy and when I walked up he was standing there and sweat was literally running off of him and on top of that, he and his crew had been fighting the mosquitoes as well. He looked at me as I walked up and in all seriousness, he said, "I don't know how you people live down here".
It's all relative.
