It depends. during the winter, wild mice try to get in the house and that is a HUGE pain in the ass. spring/summer, at least at intervals, my allergies act up and I may as well have a cold. plus... summer is too hot for me these days, and winter is too cold for me. fall... eh.... i like the sound of rain and things quiet down at times. so.... it would probably be between summer and winter, not sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ gold or silver? which do you like better?
