I get a lot of flack from people in the Northwest for not liking to camp. And I usually blame it on my love of the modern bathroom. Call me shallow, but I love having a sink and toilet to use at the end of the day.
But today, as I am filling up the wading pool for my kids, I came across the number 2 reason why I don't like to camp. Quite simply, I hate bugs. I killed 2 big gnarly spiders in the yard today (see, I go even one step further than my mother-in-law who's quote is the title of this post), and I gotta tell ya, Oregon has some wicked looking spiders. FAR more nasty than the lowly daddy long legs which is about all I remember from Iowa.
Alas, the great outdoors, for me, is enjoyed best in a beer garden.
