You ever think about catching fish by the mouth for fun?

You'd love it. You could take them back to your 5,000 square foot energy pig of a house and fry them over your 5,000 watt electric stove.

There are many places on Earth where a water front doesn't necessarily mean mosquitos. The inland lakes and even the coasts of Southern Italy are notorious, however. Value still is pushed up by tourists, however, who don't know.
Camping sites, for instance, thus pay premium prices for such land in spite of the pest, since tourists don't have a clue. Same goes for the Germans :)

None. We had this talk before and I know you want waterfront. Down there I rather not, summertime too many zanzare and other creeps. The Roman knew better, when withdrawing to the mountains in the summertime to escape the damp heat and malaria (these days just the zanzare without the malaria, but bad enough).

Got it...i didn't remember the talk. I have 410ft of waterfront...zanzare here are no worse than they are in town. Not a problem at all...I have a floating boathouse...very convenient...i either scull, sail or ski daily.
