Thank you, thank you, thank you.:blowkiss:
To add, I have seen the meter reader criticized too, for not going to the bag.'
You don't just go to something in the Florida woods.
It does not matter that it is in a populated urban neighborhood. People have patches of woods in their own yards through which human travel is impossible.
These types of places are so dense, thickly overgrown with hostile killer vegetation, and dense razor sharp growth, you cannot get through without tools and equipment.
Whatever is the little thing that assists him in reading a meter, it is not a laser which can clear a path through a jungle -like growth which can tear a person apart.
On top of that there are loads of venomous snakes, along with an assortment of poisonous spiders, including but not limited to very well camouflaged scorpions. Some of these can inflict serious damage with one bite. They can be fatal to a compromised immune system or to one "under the weather. ".
Again, all this that I have just described, can be found in people's yards.
When the area is more isolated or separated from daily human activity, the wild life is more prevalent and the vegetation is more out of control.
Factoring in that there are geographical inclines in the area, that generally will mean that you can expect to be sinking into camouflaged areas of deep mud, slimey stuff, and swarming infestations...all available for your added discomfort.
I'm done.:blowkiss: (for now)
Awesome Post!....and right on the money!
