The Great Flea Invasion causing multiple extra chores has not helped me relax. And since no one sleeps through the night, neither do I. Which is probably the MAIN issue.<BR/><BR/>As to camping, I have been backpacking and car camping. There are advantages to either. The primary problem I have is too much stuff. Which I then have to carry around.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-13852321869722780652008-08-23T23:32:00.000-07:002008-08-23T23:32:00.000-07:00I am soooo not a camping gal.I am soooo not a camping gal.Tootsie Farklepantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336671002327112885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-18798327543624341942008-08-23T21:40:00.000-07:002008-08-23T21:40:00.000-07:00No kidding.

They tend to be active at night, sleep by day. I discovered this fact when I saw raccoon piss dripping onto my dissertation. Nice, huh? <BR/><BR/>I like camping - but hate the packing, the thinking, the organizing.
