And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
And dang,,,,, I bet that metal seat gets pretty warm after it's been sitting in the sun all afternoon,,,,, just like the plastic seat in the '56 Ford station wagon after it's been sitting in the afternoon sun ,,,,,,,, be careful if you're wearing shorts.
Semi immortal chairs. I wouldn't mind hanging out there for awhile, feeding the chipmunks and bunnies watermelon seeds. That's what I did back in the 70's.
Found a scorpion under the refrigerator when I moved it when I lived in San Diego County and I found a tarantula in the back yard once there too. The Mrs. freaked out. I felt like it was a rather unique experience that not many would ever enjoy.
East Co. was home from 1951 till 2015. Found those plus centipedes, lizards and a couple gopher (bull)snakes over the decades. The wife wasn't freaked out, but also wasn't too happy about it. I like critters. I was the reptile kid.
Anything is possible, but I wouldn't worry too much about a scorpion on a hot metal chair during the middle of the day. Your hindquarters, that's another question.
You're going to find the scorpions under whatever rocks are out there in the background.
Actually, speaking from years of experience growing up with that exact form of patio furniture, the problem with those chairs is that black widow spiders love, Love, LOVE to inhabit the shady undersides, only venturing out after dark.
Blasting them out with a squirt nozzle and stomping them was something you did without fail before ever contemplating taking a seat. Which also had the happy effect of taking the temperature of the sheet metal down about 30° before planting your back end on it.

ReplyDeleteYou'll find no chipmunks or watermelon in that desert.
Deleteoriginal owners still in the chairs, now shrunken to the size of a salt and pepper shaker.
