"Jackson"

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
Yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,

Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went.
I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout'
And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...

nuthin' new to golfers, just chickity check yourself.... word

quote:

Use personal protection measures:

If you are going to be in areas that are tick infested, wear light-colored clothing so that ticks can be spotted more easily and removed before becoming attached. Wearing long-sleaved shirts. Ticks are usually located close to the ground, so wearing high rubber boots may provide additional protection.

By pulling the socks over the pants, one stretches the weave of the sock, thus making bigger holes for the flies and ticks to crawl through. It also creates a nice warm chamber between the sock and the leg (a Spa one might say) for the flies and ticks to enjoy themselves and bite to their hearts content without being seen.

A solution to this has been to wear a 3/4 or full boot, pull the pants down over the boot and use a snug fitting elastic band to snug the pants to the boot.

I've had few problems since The risk of tick attachment can also be reduced by applying insect repellents containing DEET (n,n-diethyl-m toluamide) to clothes and exposed skin, and applying permethrin (which kills ticks on contact) to clothes. DEET can be used safely on children and adults but should be applied according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines to reduce the possibility of toxicity.

Tick Removal

Perform a tick check and remove attached ticks: The transmission of B. burgdorferi (the bacteria that causes Lyme disease) from an infected tick is unlikely to occur before 36 hours of tick attachment. For this reason, daily checks for ticks and promptly removing any attached tick that you find will help prevent infection.

PHYSICIANS BEST REMOVAL METHOD OF LIVE TICK is the ....Intradermal Blister Technique
This is where an injection of Xylocaine with Adrenaline is administered intradermally underneath the tick. It will generate a large blister at the site. Ticks will release their grip due to the lack of blood to feed on, and because of "positive pressure" from the temporary swelling. The tick will back out on its own in a short time.

STRAW AND KNOT METHOD (Requires two people)
Use an ordinary drinking straw and place it at a 45 degree angle over the tick (the straw is simply being used as a guide to direct the knot). Next, take a length of thread and tie a loose knot at the top or midsection of the straw. Now, slide your knot down the straw to the site. Position the knot underneath the tick's belly, so that the knot will encircle the embedded part only. Slowly tighten the knot to close snugly around the jaws. Now, remove the straw and pull the thread in a steady upward motion. This will cause the tick to detach, without regurgitation.

Embedded ticks can also be removed using fine-tipped tweezers by place the ends of the tweezers as close to the skin as possible, squeezing them onto the mouthparts of the tick and pulling firmly and steadily backwards until the tick is removed. Any mouth parts that remain can be removed at the doctors office.

DO NOT use petroleum jelly, a hot match, nail polish, or other products.

Once the tick is out, via any of these methods, you may notice a small amount of blood at the bite site. It's either from the victim but more commonly the tick. In either case, it's best to at least wash the site well with an anti-bacterial saop. Follow up, when available, with an antiseptic.

Taking preventive antibiotics after a tick bite: The relative cost-effectiveness of post-exposure treatment of tick bites far out weighs the danger and cost of not treating it. The doctors should make the decision based on what they would do if it was their child who was bitten. Therefore, treating persons who only have a tick bite is recommended. Individuals who are bitten by a deer tick should remove the tick promptly, and consult with their health care provider.
Persons should promptly seek medical attention if they develop any signs or symptoms of Lyme disease.

Ticks are definately bad at this course. I have yet to play a round at JCC where I didn't find at least 1 on me.

Last year they had some tick spray at the registration but I wouldn't count on it this year. Protect yourself. I would assume the mosquitoes are going to be bad also.

I've only played one tournament there, with my daughters, and none of us had a problem. But it is always wise to take ordinary precautions. A couple of years ago Diana got Lyme disease and had to take antibiotics for seven weeks.

The tournament was fun but sparsely attended. I made my debut in the Pro Women's division under the pseudonym of Emily Dickenson, so that the other two women could have a division. On the last hole of the tournament I DNF'd because I thought the TD had it figured out and I did not want to get banned for life from unsanctioned disc golf.

Kelsey won Pro Women and Al Schack won Pro Men. It was a very good day to be Kelsey's dad.
